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.

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.

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 beak full of water and hopefully a fish dinner. An adolescent pelican flounders in the surf after an unsuccessful dive.

The Great Blue Heron, Ardea herodias, is a winter visitor on the island of Bonaire. He stalks the shores of the Salinas grown full from the fall rains. An interesting note the heron flies with his neck pulled in while a flamingo flies with his neck fully extended.

Flamingos Walking
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.
