My wife and I have enjoyed two short breaks in Siena in recent years, attracted by the undeniably beauty of the architecture which surprises the visitor at every turn. Iconic view of the West towers and Cathedral entrance. Stunning baroque architecture meets the eye around every corner in the beautiful city of Verona. The Cathedral on a glittering winters day as viewed from The College The magnificent early 18thc classical interior of the Great Hall, The Queen's College Oxford. The magnificent central tower is 218 feet in height and here set against a darkened evening winter sky. The main door to the Cathedral adorned with an exact replica of the world famous medieval Sanctury Knocker The principal route to Palace Green and the Cathedral for vehicular and foot traffic. Short summary of Castle Keep This church with it's Romanesque tower dating back to the 13th century, sits at the highest elevation in the village. The covered seating gives shelter and great views down the coast to Teesport to the weary traveller. Sheep take shelter on this coastal County Durham farm. I consider this my take on Johannes Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring. This the third of the Villa Cimbrone paintings depicts a sunny hidden cloister with charming twisted columns. The north facing Cathedral door features an exact replica of the bronze Sanctuary Knocker. The original is normally part of the Cathedral Treasures display but was part of the Royal Academy's 'Bronze' exhibition during 2012. A former Cistercian Abbey near the market town of Helmsley, Rievaulx was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1538. It's picturesque ruins are now a regional tourist attraction.

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
