Exhibition Tour with Tony Hunt RI

For several years Tony Hunt RI has taken informal tours round Mall Galleries to view and comment on the works on show for the Annual Exhibition of the RI. "With the galleries closed this year, it was suggested that I might like to take a virtual tour of the exhibition to go online. Now as I travel with my mouse through the exhibited images on my computer screen, my intention is to respond to those paintings that particularly catch my eye: and leave a few words in response."

Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours: President's Foreword

I welcome you to the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours (RI) 208th exhibition in a slightly different way than planned. It is now 189 years since its foundation, and this will be the first where the exhibition is “opened” in this manner. I do wish that you all stay safe and heed the advice given by health officials and government.
