Six of the best for John

Delph artist John McCombs is exhibiting the maximum six works in the Royal Society of British Artists’ exhibition next month.

The exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London runs from tomorrow until March 12.

John, who is a member of the society, will be illustrated in the catalogue and one of his paintings will be used on the cover.

Past distinguished members of the Royal Society include Whistler, Sickert and Lowry.

John is also the first Oldham-based artist to be President of the prestigious Manchester Academy of Fine Arts in its 150-year history this year.
