Huge interest in this year's Royal Institute of Oil Painters (ROI) show with queues down the Mall for the first chance to see some 300 new Oil Paintings at this prestigious event. Sir Keir Starmer, Leader of the Opposition, opened proceedings with powerful support for the Institute's emphasis on young painters. Sir Keir was clearly enjoying the company of artists, a colourful contrast to House of Commons!
The Royal Institute of Oil Painters Annual Exhibition runs until 5th December not to be missed!
The entire exhibition can be viewed here: www.mallgalleries.org.uk/roi
