He has painted for The Queen and has a painting in the Royal Collection. He has had a number of exhibitions in UK and abroad.  After three and a half years as the Naval Attache in Riyadh he developed an attraction to the desert and held an exhibition of Saudi life at the British Embassy.  A month ago he held a very successful exhibition in Switzerland. Since starting this project over a year ago Rupert has developed a very deep affection for Selborne and this shows very clearly in his paintings which are for sale in support of the Museum’s charitable trust. www.gilbertwhiteshouse.org.uk 01420 511275.
