A painting? WOW!! Looks like the real thing. Hats off to the Artiste.
This sure brings back memories since I was born and raised in one exactly like this. Back then, 6 of us lived in this house and seem to be very comfortable, sleeping on our bedding on the floor of the lar-sall. Today, I own and live in the 3bedroom house with 2 bathrooms and complain that the house is too small no space for this or for that…..oh Father! This is what you call HUMBLE BEGINNINGS!
Fantasitc piece of work, Kelvin. The level of detail in the galavanize on the roof, the felt siding, the piece of metal at the botom of the door to prevent water from getting under the door, the plants. Thing is, was the painting done from a photograph? BTW, is KJ related to the former PPS Principal?
give praises to the artist for such a fine job, it is even more impressive to know it’s some one’s home where they feel warm and safe.
Lovely Dominica don’t loose that aura.
I once stayed in this house.This is my house.Have you had my permission to publicise my house?.If not, I would like a cut of the profits made on all of your postings otherwise see you in court.
What a idiot you are ,artist can paint anything we want and we do not need permit so get lost

This is gorgeous!!!

Before I saw the picture I recognized the house. Is that a real painting or a picture of the house, I just can’t believe it. This is a superb job, what talent!!! I am still flabbergasted. Wish I knew the artist.
It is a painting. If you take a closer look at the bottom right corner, you’ll notice his signature. He works at the university in the north……I can confirm that he is quite a talented young man.
Way to go KJ!
Wow Great job cuz.
It’s really good like a 9/10, Would have not known if i didn’t watch the texture of the leaves! The galvanize and everything else looks realistic.
Such God given talent!!!

Looks just like the one I grew-up in as a little girl. Good memories.God is good. Thanks for sharing!!
Wow, wow, wow. was wondering if is real or painting. Wow.
wow so realistic! I love it!
But this is a remarkable painting. Before reading this was the image of a painting, I thought it looked like some of the historic old house we have a few places around.
This is an impressive painting from Kelvin.
Good work KJ!
follow up. I refer to the plant with the long white flowery spikes. I notice there are other plants in the midst. Again the correct one is the one with long white flowery spikes, we call kojorut( not sure of the spelling
as incredible as it might sound I have seen even more amazing paintings from this young man!
By virtue of your talent, I am proud to be from the same community as you Sir!
Possie Talent
Guess what, the plants at the front of the house must be treasured. This is the guinea hen that is being referred to for use against all manner of diseases. Please let not the plant go to waste anymore.
