  • Built on a granite promontory over looking the river Loire. Charles V111 decided to rebuild it extensively, when it fell into French hands in 1492. He employed an Italian architect and three French builders Colin Bart, Guillauime Senault and Loise Armangeart. At the the time of Charles V111, an Italian priest, Pasello da Mercogliano, is credited with laying it out. / Francoise was raised here by his Mother Louise Savoy. / As a guest of the King, Leonardo da Vinci lived nearby at Clos Luce which was connected to the castle by an underground passage. He is buried in the chapel of saint Hubert ajoining the chateau. / Henry11 and his wife Cathrine de Medici raised their children here along with Mary Suart, a child birde to Francois son Francoise 11. Mary Queen of Scots later lived with her husband Francoise11 at Chateau Chenonceau but he died a few years later.

  • In the reign of Francoise 1 this beautiful Chateau of Azay was built in 1515 by Gilles Berthelot. / The lake gently reflects the facade of the architecture with high roofs,tall turrets,long windows and magestic Italian structure which gives a wonderful symmetrical image. authors note: I spent two weeks here sketching the Chateau and enjoying the wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. The chateau is close to Chateau Villandry.

  • The Nature Spirit is a mythical being with a direct tie to nature. This includes fairies, sprites, imps, dryads, nymphs, and occasionally even deities. The word “sprite” comes from the Latin spiritus or “breath of life.” It is sometimes used to describe an elvish or mischievous spirit present in nature. Many thanks to Zoe (Digitalmidge) for this magical treatment of my nature sprite. Here is another version .... /

  • This is the riverfront side of Detroit’s Renaissance Center. The building is currently the world headquarters for General Motors. The building was originally built with money from Ford Motor Company and the Ford family so there is a certain irony in the fact that GM is now located in a building that Ford helped build. This picture was taken on the Detroit edition of Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photowalk and was one of the 10 runners up for the Photowalk contest. Recently this image was also one of the runners up in the 4th annual Photoshop User Awards contest.

  • 9×12 Graphite/White Charcoal. My interpretation of Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg 1841 oil painting “Woman Standing in Front of a Mirror.”

  • This is the “Old Moat” in the Dutch city of Utrecht. When the old arm of the Rhine river that used to flow here started silting up in the middle ages, part of it became canalized and new canals connected the remnants of the river with the nearby river Vecht. The resulting canal (created in portions from the end of the 11th century) then provided a great transport route between the river systems of the Netherlands and the South and North Sea (the south see now being known as IJsselmeer). During the High and Late Middle Ages, countless massive, semi-fortified houses were built along the canal, many of which can still be seen today (although usually with an unrecognizably altered front gable). The low water table created by dikes and locks in the middle ages created the opertunity for the inhabitants of the canal-side houses to extend their basements underneath the road and have a doorway leading directly to a wharf on the waterside, creating the unique, medieval, two-level road system that is still perfectly in tact and a contender for addition to the UNESCO list.

  • There are two royal resicences in Denmark which bear nearly the same name. The one, close to Copenhagen, is Fredericksberg, located in the middle of Hillerød on three islands in the castle lake. The oldest parts of the castle were built in 1560 by King Frederik II and the castle is named after him.The majority of the present castle was built between 1600-1620 by Frederik II’s son, Christian IV in Dutch Renaissance style with sweeping gables, sandstone decorations and copper-covered roofs and spires. The castle burnt in 1859 but was rebuilt from 1860-84.The part of the castle with the two low round towers on the southernmost island beside the S-bridge that connects the first and middle islets were part of Frederik II’s original Frederiksborg The Danish Kings lived in Frederiksborg Castle for about a century.Around the castle is big lake and gorgeous barock park.

renaissance – information provided by wikipedia:

The Renaissance (from French Renaissance, meaning "rebirth"; Italian: Rinascimento, from re- "again" and nascere "be born") was a cultural movement that spanned roughly the 14th through the 17th century, beginning in Italy in the late Middle Ages and later spreading to the rest of Europe. It encompassed a revival of learning based on classical sources, the development of linear perspective in painting, and educational reform. The Renaissance saw developments in most intellectual pursuits, but is perhaps best known for its artistic aspect and the contributions of such polymaths as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, who have inspired the term "Renaissance men".
