EDITORS COMMENTS
Walkers House, Kenya: A Glimpse into the 1930s Colonial Era This exquisite watercolor painting, titled 'Walkers House, Kenya,' transports us back in time to the 1930s colonial era. The artwork, created in the thirties, depicts a charming house nestled amidst lush greenery and surrounded by a tranquil body of water. The house, with its red-tiled roof and whitewashed walls, exudes an air of elegance and serenity. The painting is believed to have been created during the tenure of Chief Robert Powell, who served as the Chief of the Kikuyu and Meru Provinces in Kenya from 1927 to 1938. The presence of a scout in the foreground, dressed in full uniform, adds an element of adventure and exploration to the scene. The painting is a beautiful representation of the British colonial influence in Kenya during the 1930s. The artist, Lord Baden-Powell, is renowned for his connection to the Scout Movement, and it is intriguing to imagine him painting this scene while on a visit to Kenya. The painting's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, allowing us to imagine the sounds of birds chirping, the gentle lapping of water against the shore, and the rustling of leaves in the breeze. The artwork is a testament to the beauty and charm of Kenya during the colonial era and serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of this fascinating country.
