Original artwork description:

A corner of Brick Lane, and a flood of memories, of times, decades ago. The intoxicating smell of food, of spices, grease and coriander, curry and turmeric, of baking and coffee, hanging in the summer night. Sunday mornings of bright light and London heat, the heat that is absorbed into the Victorian bricks and that releases the oils from the tarmac of the road. Days of innocent pleasure, made golden by morning light, antiques and plants, cakes, pastries and designer coffee. This work is full of light and colour, with realism and detail, a wonderful souvenir of London.
Texture has been added to create extra depth. The canvas is 0.5 inches deep and can therefore hang without a frame if wished.
