Home » Find out what's New!   1885 Pueblo Novo - Original Oil Painting Details  By Linda Richter About the image The ruin of an old tower house is fondly recognized by many locals on Bonaire. A friend visiting my studio just a day after I finished this painting said, “Is that the house in Nikiboko?” I was pleased he recognized it so I made a point to research the history of this iconic house to share. The tower house was probably built in the early 20th century but potentially the inscription found on the building “1885 Pueblo Novo” indicates the year the original house was built. The style of the house is a “Cas di Hadrey” (house with a porch) with a square tower. The painting shows the window on the bottom floor of the tower and the sky can be glimpsed through the upper window casement. Shadows within the lower room suggest stairs and an upper floor but it is not safe to enter it. This house is listed by the government in Historic Monuments of Bonaire in 1987. The patchy colors in grays, pinks, and peaches seem to be part of the concrete and local limestone wall. It doesn’t appear to be layers of paint but maybe minerals that have leached out of the natural materials over the years Shipping from Bonaire: Please Select...Pick-up in Bonaire by Customer $0 Federal Express International $?

Here I have tried to represent a sunset in the summer months at the northern end of the Caribbean island of Bonaire, with Mount Brandaris silhouetted against the sun, and dark yet reflective ocean in the foreground.

They both hovered in their respective positions for quite some time, cautiously observing each other. Perhaps each was considering the other as a viable food source?

There are several species of brain coral, aptly named because their meandering crests resemble the appearance of the exterior of a mammal’s brain. However, to me, the most amazing thing is that a coral’s colors are actually the result of a separate organism – zooxanthellae – a type of algae which lives in symbioses with the coral. So, this image represents both the simplicity of a natural and random pattern and the complexity of the interrelationship of multiple life forms.

However most don’t realize that bromeliads come in a variety of colors. I found this incredibly richly colored bromeliad in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in the tropical gardens of the excellent Chattanooga Aquarium, but what really caught my attention were the bromeliad “babies” forming in the midst of the water-filled interior of the parent bromeliad. The brightness and contrast of the colors of the leaves, blossoms, and reflection of the water were captivating, and also difficult to represent properly. Available Jan 2010 Price: $149.00 Bullfrog - Print Details  by Jake Richter About the image Often heard, but rarely seen, bullfrogs are both beautiful and ugly at the same time. Some of their ugliness stems more from stories and fairytales, although arguably, on the flip side, Kermit the Frog made frogs cute. One evening while at a pond in New Hampshire, I caught a bullfrog, and decided to do a detailed study of it, as seen here. The complexity of the eye, combined with the odd appearance of the tympanic membrane (ear) is contrasted by the rich green and brown color of the bullfrog. Available Jan 2010 Price: $149.00 Butterfly on Pink Daisy - Print Details  by Jake Richter About the image A visit to a farmer’s market in Nashville, Tennessee, inspired this image, when I spotted a butterfly feeding on blossom of what appeared to be a pink daisy in the floral and garden section of the market. What intrigued me about the scene I saw was the plain appearance of the butterfly in contrast with the vivid colors of the bloom it sat upon.
