I will be showing my new portrait of Rodney Williams at this year’s Royal Society of Portrait Painters annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London. The commission came just at the tail end of the second lockdown, so I naturally welcomed the chance to engage with the outside world again, and paint someone other than myself or Caroline!

Commissioned by his wife Diana for Rodney’s 75th birthday, the whole process was made very enjoyable by their generous hospitality and good company. As a bonus, they gave every impression of approving of the result. The exhibition opens on 5th May at the Mall Galleries and runs until 14th May, 11am-5pm daily.
