A Newlyn painter is set to join of a select group of artists who have been given the royal seal of approval. Jason Walker has been granted associate membership of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters. He has become one of just 54 members and four associates to be recognised by the exclusive group and hopes to become a full member next year. The 39-year-old, who lives in Heamoor and works at Trewarveneth studios in Newlyn, was selected from more than 900 other artists for an exhibition by the society in London's Mall Galleries last month.
