Rum - I totally agree with you about some of the interiors in Jamaica resembling Van Gogh paintings!
Like this painting:

There is that intensity and strong use of primary colors, especially yellows and greens and blues.
It's part of what I love about going to Jamaica.
It feels like stepping into a beautiful bright expressionist painting

Really enjoying your trip report and observations.
looking forward to your next update!
