Oil on canvas 12 x 15. Cat. No 00-111-88. Series 00000 This painting was one of the first in the old house series and the only piece done in oils. It was painted in the formative years of the artist life. This particular house was repeatedly painted over the years. The house was located on 5 lower Ivy road in Kingston 5, Jamaica. The house was very typical to the level of craftsmanship and detail that marked the turn of the century. Sadly these homes are a vanishing legacy as more and more are being demolished making room for more lifeless modern structures. The old house series grew into one of the artist most prolific subject matter and it fell perfectly in line with the artist main interest of the time which was Architecture.
