Dancing the Cocoa....... this painting is roughly 23x30 inches ... its a watercolour of a time when on the cocoa estates ,the cocoa was danced or walked upon, by a few of the hired hands in Trinidad. The cocoa was one of the very best world wide and sought after, the estates were owned by many french descendents who prospered in the late 1800s and early 1900s from sales of the crop , many estates were set up during that time , here in this painting once again i have captured an old method, a method that we no longer see here in Trinidad ,relating to this prized crop ...this painting is actually taken from an old photograph that i worked with the photo was in sepia colours ,so i brought it alive by bringing colour into it .... it was sold at my 2007 exhibition entitled Trinidad .. a series of 32 pieces in all at the time this was a favaroite one ....
