HUGE congratulations are due to the DLI Museum and Gallery, in Richmond, for the excellent exhibition John Tunnard - Nature, Politics and Science.

Superbly curated by Lucy Jenkins, the summer-long event in galleries one and two shows that the North-East is more than capable of staging an exhibition worthy of national notice.

Some of the 100 paintings on show have never been seen before, and I really urge readers of The Northern Echo to go along to find out more about this fascinating artist.
