The ancient water tower is in the foreground with the arched entrance to the Choristers School behind. A gift to a close friend to commemorate his 25 years service in the Anglican Church. The entrance to the castle on a bright autumn afternoon. The most picturesque route between the centre of Historic Bath and the nearby district of Batheaston, can be enjoyed via the River Avon and this little water taxi. Stunning baroque architecture meets the eye around every corner in the beautiful city of Verona. 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. I've always loved the view up Owengate with The Cathedral in the distance and as such have been drawn to paint it on a number of occasions. Most observers don't even notice the tree near to the junction with North Bailey and Saddler Street but I see it as almost a curtain pulled aside to reveal the view beyond. The medieval Elvet bridge built in 1160 by Bishop Hugh de Puiset. The magnificent early 18thc classical interior of the Great Hall, The Queen's College Oxford. The granddaughter of a close friend. The principal route to Palace Green and the Cathedral for vehicular and foot traffic. The majestic Cathedral looms over visitors to the Castle The steep access on Owengate offers the visitor the first glimpse of the majestic Cathedral.

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
