Brick Lane, London with Banksy – Sandra Walker RI, watercolourist
© Sandra Walker
Sandra Walker RI (Member of The Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour) is an American watercolourist living in the UK and is regarded one of the world’s finest photorealists. I am honored to have caught Sandra’s artistic eye and to have had several of my photographs reproduced by her. Above is a recent watercolor of a street artist mural on Brick Lane in East London. Sandra was also kind enough to include her working photographs used to reproduce this street scene.
According to a Wikipedia article on Brick Lane, a street in East London, England:
It runs from Swanfield Street in the northern part of Bethnal Green, crosses Bethnal Green Road, passes through Spitalfields and is linked to Whitechapel High Street to the south by the short stretch of Osborn Street. Today, it is the heart of the city’s Bangladeshi-Sylheti community and is known to some as Banglatown. It is famous for its many curry houses.

The oldest Antwerp business proved founded in 1844. It is the House Cockx in the Green Place. After generations under the family Cockx came the sale in 1971 under the name Eider. Anne-Marie De Bevere, who took over the business from her father said she was established in the nineteenth century in the Kammenstraat. There were not only umbrellas and walking sticks sold but also leeches . This given the proximity to St. Elizabeth Hospital where sticky critters in that time were used frequently. – Translated from Flemish – Chris10 Panoramio comment
