AFRICAN HOUSE Original Watercolor 11 x 14 inches This original watercolor depicts the most unusual architecture structure in America! The African House, located at Melrose Plantation, was thought to be used as a place to store food. Bars cover the windows to keep rodents like raccoons or possums out of the food supply! Today, the house displays murals & artworks of Clementine Hunter! Melrose Plantation is a 30 minute drive south of Natchitoches, Louisiana. Everyone should see it at least once! I try to see it often! This is the place Clementine Hunter's art was created from. The owner had an artist colony there, & out of that Clementine Hunter produced fabulous, colorful primitive art for everyone to enjoy! This artwork is signed!
