Mostly Durham - Stuart Fisher

Foreword by Michael Sadgrove, Dean of Durham Cathedral 2003–2015“Generations of painters have sought new pictorial songs to sing in depicting Durham and its great Cathedral. I was no different in this respect, until I became aware of the infinite variations endowed upon these historic structures by the ever-changing world they inhabit. This book contains some of my songs, but there are many more yet to sing.†— Stuart FisherAward-winning artist Stuart Fisher is considered to be one of the most talented painters of architectural landscapes in Northern England.
