Geoff Butterworth’s ‘Running on Time’ selected for the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours Open Exhibition

Geoff Butterworth’s ‘Running on Time’ has been selected for the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours Open Exhibition 2017 at the Mall Gallery, London from the 6 - 22 April.

The Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours (RI) has been showing the best in contemporary watercolour painting since 1831. A number of prizes are awarded to artists in the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours Open Exhibition.

Geoff said: “I was not expecting to get in as the standard is so high.

“I have had work in the Mall Gallery several times before and once I was runner up In the Laing Landscape and Seascape exhibition with a £1000.00 prize.

“This Exhibition is a royal show with Prince Charles showing his watercolours and it is a showcase for the best in contemporary water media so it should be very positive. My painting is fairly big so it won’t be missed.

“The subject is striking too, I was sure it would be a good picture when I was starting it.

“I painted it quick which is a good thing as you are on a high almost and each day I was raring to go, I finished it on the third day.

“You can view my other paintings at the The Bank Gallery at Castleton. Come along for a guided tour or just a chat. There are three floors and over a hundred paintings on show at 847-849 Manchester Road, OL11 2UY."
