About "Torri del Benaco"

The town of Torri del Benaco on the Garda Lake in the Verona district of Italy.
A commission from a client who spent a holiday there.
The origins of Torri del Benaco go back to the stone age, or more precisely the bronze age, as cave incisions show us.
It has been occupied by the roman empire, barbarians, Longobards. With the arrival of the Scala family from Verona the strategic importance of Torri grew exponentiall.

The decline arrived between the 1500's and 1600's, with raids of French and Austrian troops during the Napoleonic wars. Tourism however has brought Torri del Benaco back to its ancient splendor that makes it one of the most frequented destinations on Lake Garda.

About Don

I am a multi-faceted artist and illustrator, Senior Professional Architectural Technologist, former advertising exec and keen photographer. I work in oil, water colours, charcoal, pencil, Acrylics, pen and mixed-media including digital art. I enjoy all types of subject matter ranging from wildlife, landscapes, seascapes, portraits - across the spectrum to architecture, contemporary art, aviation, ships, trains and still life.
My aviation works are well researched and the aircraft and locations are accurate as possible so that they provide a true historical record for others to appreciate.

EDUCATION & PRIVATE TUITION:
I attended art classes from a young age and was privately tutored by Andre' Vancoillie, well-known local artist and lecturer at the age of 16 years as well as Paul Lavender in water colours.
My appreciation to Mrs Chilcott, my high school art teacher who saw something in me and went out of her way to mentor me by giving me extra art lessons in her spare time.
I matriculated in art at the PE Technical College and mention Mrs. Hill who assisted me greatly.

PRINTS AVAILABLE:
All my works are available as prints.
