A companion piece to On the Edge, Blue Wall takes in the view at the horizon where gulls congregate. In the distance, a thin line of the uninhabited island of Klein Bonaire separates sea from sky. The colors of the sea are mimicked in the discolorations of the cement wall.

Flamingos Walking is a step away from my usual choice of media – oil and canvas. This special painting has been created for use outdoors in Bonaire. The material is board with acrylic painting sealed with clear acrylic varnish. After several years exclusively using oil paint this was quite a challenge with wonderful results with almost life-size flamingos at hand.
