ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Kilkitay means to fall awkwardly, usually with arms flailed. This term would be used playfully to describe a drunken sailor like some portrayed in traditional Carnival costumes. In this painting, King Sailor characters can be seen, imitating the presence of US sailors in Trinidad during the second world war. The sailor character is a popular traditional costume complete with baby powder in Carnival parades. Kilkitay significa caer torpemente, normalmente agitando los brazos. Este término se utilizaría juguetonamente para describir a un marinero borracho como algunos retratados en trajes tradicionales de Carnaval. En este cuadro se ven personajes de King Sailor, imitando la presencia de marineros estadounidenses en Trinidad durante la segunda guerra mundial. El personaje del marinero es un disfraz tradicional muy popular en los desfiles de Carnaval.

Jennylynd James is a “Renaissance” woman: an artist, writer, and Classical music singer with a long work history as a food scientist! Jennylynd earned a Ph.D. in Food Science at McGill University, and worked for food companies in the United States, Ireland, Canada, and the Caribbean. Her series of travel memoirs recount her many adventures in relocation. Jennylynd James discovered a hidden talent for drawing and painting while working as an entrepreneur in the Republic of Ireland. Her artsy flair in running a food business took an interesting turn when in an amateur art class the instructor found Jennylynd excelled in portraiture and sketching. She uses the vivid colours of her heritage to influence her work. Her artwork is held in collections in Mexico, Canada, the United States, the Caribbean and the UK.
