Royal Institute of Oil Painters Annual Exhibition Private View

Yesterday was the Private View of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters Annual Exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London.
We were delighted to have as our guest speaker Gyles Brandreth who, quite frankly, brought the house down! A splendid afternoon enjoyed by everyone.

Below a few pics of the occasion, and prizewinners.

Exhibition continues

Straight out of the blocks with good early sales during the exhibition at W H Patterson.

This one's off to the States.

Had to get up really early to catch this one, (still recovering!)


Quite lucky working on this one, as venue is only about 500 yards from home (frozen to bits!)
