Due to the pandemic the 2020 ROI annual exhibition will be an online only exhibition this year. The exhibition officially opens on November 25th with a live online introduction and prize giving ceremony by our president Tim Benson PROI. Keep an eye out on social media for all the online activity going on in the build up to the show and beyond. You can now view and purchase the work from the exhibition on the Mall Galleries website.

As ever there is a fantastic selection of work to be seen. My four submissions are shown below, featuring three from a productive painting trip to Cornwall this July after the first lockdown (it felt like being released from a cage!) together with a local study of a wonderful sunset over the river Ouse near Stony Stratford.
