Original Watercolours by Tim Wilmot

St James Street, Weston Super Mare

Watercolour 15" x 11" on Bockingford paper 300g

Running parallel to and just a hundered metres or so away from the sea front at Weston, St James Street is lined with many traditional fish and chip restaurants run efficiently by Greek-Cypriot families.  Weston, whilst a bit shabby in areas is going through a bit of a makeover at the moment with the promenade in particular looking very smart now, along with the new pier development (even St James Street here has its Japanese Sushi bar!).  Weston's a great place for west country day- trippers.

 

Serefefendi Caddesi, Istanbul

Watercolour 15" x 11" on Bockingford 300g paper

All around the Grand Bazaar area of Istanbul, there's distinct areas specialising in selling certain goods.  Serefefendi caddesi is mostly a jewelry area on the West side of the Bazaar. Here you'll find any sort of jewelry many manufactured on site in the shops.

 

Tramway on Ordu Cadessi Istanbul #watercolor #istanbul

Watercolour 15" x 11" on Bockingford 300g paper

The Tramway station on Ordu Caddesi looking through to the minaret of the Hoca Piri Mosque (Hoca Piri Cami), and behind this is the southern entrance to the Grand Bazaar.  Istanbul has a nice modern metro system covering the main routes on the European side of the city, but you have to be very careful crossing the street  to get your favourite Doner Kebap as the frequent Trams travel at a fair rate of knots!
