Picket Line Artist Inga Bystram jokes with RMT member.

Watercolour artist Inga Bystram jokes with an RMT railway worker on a picket line outside London's Euston Station. On the first floor of a nearby pub, The Cock Tavern, (Phoenix Street 10 am to 10 pm] there is a free exhibition of hundreds of her watercolour sketches of rail workers, university lecturers and posties on various picket lines across the capital. They are arrayed in neat rows stuck to the walls with bluetack. Just ask at the bar downstairs, and unless there's a union meeting or other good reason, you will be welcome to see the display.

If you are unable to get to the pub, you can also see some of her work online via Inga's Instagram account

Inga explained to the Morning Star that it was during the summer of last year that she started to paint striking RMT members "attracted by the colour and vibrancy of the picket lines as well as the friendliness of the pickets."
