It is with great sadness that one of our members, Barry Peckham ROI has sadly passed away.

 

Barry was born in the New Forest and his favoured subjects included landscape, marine, equine and wildlife. He worked mainly in oils and watercolours and occasionally in pastel. Most of his paintings were produced en Plein air, working in the landscape, with the final touches being added in his studio. Barry was a valued member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. He was also a member of the Society of Equestrian Artists and a member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists.

 

Barry will be sorely missed by the ROI members, his work was much cherished and this will be a great loss for us at the institute. On behalf of all the members we would like to offer Barry’s family our heartfelt condolences.

 

A few of Barry’s beautiful paintings are shown below.
