"The House in Red"
by Eric Johnn (Oil on canvas ... 48x486) 1990.

'Artist Bay!' Not sure of the name. But there is good ring to it. Located within the vicinity of La Poterie in " BIG Parish", St. Andrew's and not far off from the River Antoine estate. The area is often quiet, yet serene, situated on the Atlantic coastline of Grenada. A yearly kite-flying competition takes place at this location. In the painting, medium to light clouds make as if it may soon rain. The terrain is dry as is the case along Grenada's sea coast. The picture exudes a breath of fresh air...doesn't it?

Grenada has more spices and condiments per square mile than any other nation on Earth. The island has very rugged terrain that helps augment its natural beauty with hills and valleys, creating many heavenly scenic views wherever one goes. Grenada is blessed with an abundance of world famous beaches, friendly people, and sumptuous, tasty dishes. The sweet aroma of spices, cinnamon and nutmeg mace among them, fills the tranquil atmosphere all year round. The capital is St.George's. The island became Independent within the British Commonwealth of Nations on February 7, 1974. Grenada shares its government with two sister islands, Carriacou and Petit Martinique, situated at its northern coast. A Westminster style Government runs things in St. George's. There are two Heads-of-States. The Governor-General is HRH Queen Elizabeth II of England special representative on the island. The Prime Minister is the executive Chief who has an elected cabinet that sees over Stately and Foreign matters. Europeans first sighted Grenada around 1498. But long before that time, Carib and Arawak Indians lived peacefully on the island side by side. Grenada has three main products, cocoa, banana and nutmegs. The island is one of two countries in the world that exports nutmegs commercially. Tourism, too, is a big money earner.
