I was fascinated by this giant mechanism during a trip up the Thames in 2019. This former palace, situated on the hill below Prague Castle, is now the Italian Embassy. The painting is one of two shortlisted in the 2016 Sunday Times Watercolour Competition. The River Wear slides slowly bye rowing club pontoons whilst wood smoke curls upwards from burning logs. Located at the West end of the Cathedral, it's design is heavily influenced by Islamic architecture. The medieval Elvet bridge built in 1160 by Bishop Hugh de Puiset. The entrance to College Green, an area behind Durham Cathedral mostly overlooked by tourists. Short summary This the third of the Villa Cimbrone paintings depicts a sunny hidden cloister with charming twisted columns. Short summary of Durham Cathedral Sheep take shelter on this coastal County Durham farm. Passengers of a gondola being entertained by a singer and his accordionist. This the Second of the Villa Cimbrone paintings depicts the Temple of Ceres leading to the Belvedere or so called Terrace of Infinity which has magnificent views of the Amalfi coast. I loved my original version of this painting so much, that I decided to give it another go in order to kick start a new series for my 2016 exhibition. This Venetian church which lies in the cestiere Cannaregio was founded in the 10th century. Part of the 2014 Durham Cathedral exhibition. Iconic view of the West towers and Cathedral entrance.

Stuart Fisher Watercolours

Artist and award winning designer Stuart Fisher has exhibited his watercolour paintings across the region and as far south as Bath’s prestigious Rooksmoor Gallery. Shortly after his birth in Nuneaton Warwickshire in 1954, Stuart's parents moved to Peterlee New Town where he still lives today with his wife Anne.

Stuart believes that a large section of the art buying public are poorly served by the art market and are hungry for the return of traditional painting. He therefore specialises in the production of architectural watercolours within which he aims to imbue the atmospheric ambiance typical of Turner with the technical brilliance of his artistic hero, Sir William Russell Flint.

A career in architecture spanning almost 34 years culminated with his multi award winning design for Durham City's Science Learning Centre North East. This was followed in 2005 by what he terms 'an escape from the tyranny of the right angle' and the subsequent launch of his professional artistic career early in 2010
