In June the ROI hosted a paint out for ROI Friends at St James ‘s Park in London. It was a beautiful summer’s day in the park for an informal ROI painting event, hosted by members Natalia Avdeeva ROI and Tom Marsh ROI. Joined by fellow members Luis Morris ROI and Karl Terry AROI, along with friends of the Institute, the group enjoyed warm weather, a gentle breeze in the shade, and a relaxed, creative atmosphere.

Some wonderful plein air works were created on the day — a celebration of friendship, painting, and summer light!
