Donkey
Huddle
Donkeys cluster about the feeding trough
at the Donkey Sanctuay. They appear to be in a
conversation listening to the one facing away from
the viewer. One is concentrating with ears perked.

Pelican
Vigil
 A lone pelican stands upon a rocky outcropping.
Misty air cuts him off from his fellows. He is alone
for the moments. What is he thinking behind that intense
gaze?

Trupial
Brunch
 The
trupial as a regular garden visitor flashes a bright
yellow and black but only up close can you see the
dab of blue eye shadow.
The
traditional Bonairean kadushi cactus fence made
from straight tips cut and interlocked against
a wire fence. If done with skill, the cactus
pieces take root and the fence becomes a living
and growing thing. The cactuses flower and produce
fruit creating the perfect brunch line for a
pair of trupials. Many other birds and animals
will join the buffet line like our native prikitchis
and even fruit bats.

Flamingo
World
Why
call this painting Flamingo World? While it could have
been Flamingo Head or Flamingo Neck one of the most
striking elements to this painting is the swirling
water with the mix of greens, turquoise, white and
beige. In many ways, it reminds me of the space photos
of the Earth. It is also the world of the flamingo
stalking the waters for food. So Flamingo World it
is.

Ringing
out the old year and bring in the new - greeting guests
with...
Who's
There?
Always
a character, Bonaire’s native parakeet the prikichi
shows its natural curiosity. Lean to the side, a dip of
the neck, and a look around the corner let’s the prikichi
know who is coming. Friends are greeted with chatter and
whistles. Foes face a screeching wrath.

November
2005
November
was an interesting month for painting. Linda took a slight
departure from her usual Bonaire subjects to paint creatures
from her recent trips. Never fear Linda's brilliant colors
are always present.
One
Frog, Three Frogs.
Green, Blue, and Yellow Frogs.
"If
you are a frog lover like I am, you can't resist these little
cuties." Linda
Poison
Arrow frogs in various colors hide along the rainforest floor.
The tiny frogs have been greatly enlarged to show the drama
of their form and color. Each is solitary in its own frame
and yet they are part of the whole environment.

October
2005 - Fishing Lessons
 The
adult Brown pelican glides across the ocean in search of
fish schools. Once found he sharply dives, plummeting into
the water to scoop up a beakful of water and hopefully a
fish dinner. An adolescent pelican flounders in the surf
after an unsuccessful dive.
