Dara and Linda, I wish you the best with your art exhibit. Pasa Bon Pizza is a great spot to have it! You can eat great pizza and enjoy the exhibit at the same time!!

Congratulations Dara and Linda! I look at my art work from you both everyday. And what a wonderful spot to have your show -- I think that Pasa Bon Pizza has one of the prettiest dining areas on the island. Just wish we did not have to work that day and the next so we could be there for the opening!

I'll bring a camera with me, and I think Marc has volunteered to do the same.

Dara and Linda - congratulations on the show. Read about it in the Bonaire Reporter (by the way everyone, a great way to find out what is going on in Bonaire).

I've been thinking of you two getting ready for your opening.. Seeing Dara come in and out the front door... I will be wishing you well and celebrating with you tonight. Long live ART!
|
By Cynde (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #7089) on Wednesday, June 18, 2003 - 3:47 pm: |
Linda, good luck with the opening, and best of wishes to you and Dara on the debut! I can't wait to see both of your works in real life!

I wonder how it went. When I last talked to them on Monday and Tuesday they seemed to be in control. Maybe Jake and Linda are to busy counting the money.
|
By Niki Harris (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #745) on Thursday, June 19, 2003 - 12:53 pm: |
Lol, Cecil, :-) Actually, I know that after their art shindig, they needed to immediately throw a proper 8-year-old's birthday today, Thursday, so it's likely they will only surface tomorrow. If then. Whew!

Niki, I thought the party is tomorrow (Friday)??

martin, rotflmao...you're looking at your tie, jake looks, well...love the face linda is giving bas...trying to keep him still i suppose! i think that angela and the man next to her (who is that anyway) are the only one's paying attention! LOL!
|
By Martin de Weger (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2456) on Thursday, June 19, 2003 - 1:30 pm: |
The guy next to Angela (not being me ) is Bert. He was Angela's maid of honor (or at least her best men). He's an old friend of ours, who used to live in Holland and had moved to Bonaire a few years back. I just love the expressions on the faces. Jake, me, Angela and Bert real serious and than Linda and Bas, just goofing around...

If I went into countdown phase today it would be pathetic... but entirely understandable!

By Martin de Weger (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2457) on Thursday, June 19, 2003 - 2:47 pm: |
You don't mean this one do you??? Yes I'm going to post this one... It's about 21 deg C. here and I keep on sweating, I think I need to go back to Bonaire ASAP!!!

By Niki Harris (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #747) on Thursday, June 19, 2003 - 3:21 pm: |
You got it!

Thanx Cynde. Angela and I can look back to 2 perfect days with a lot of fun, love and most of all good friends who made the days possible. THANK YOU to every body who helped making those 2 days like they where.

Back to the topic at hand (rearing my head above the piles of work in my office), the exhibit was quite a success - over 250 people attended, including Bonaire's Lt. Governor. The comment Linda heard most "I didn't know you could paint?!" (expressed in a state of shock and disbelief and "why have you been hiding this talent of yours" :-) ).
|
By Jake Richter (Moderator - Post #4398) on Friday, June 20, 2003 - 12:05 am: |
Oops, and yes - Yana's birthday is tomorrow (Friday - I guess that's already today) - that's kept Linda busy all day today (plus Bas didn't have school today). And I've been twiddling with computers and software all day - and the computers were winning, at least for a while...
|
By Niki Harris (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #752) on Friday, June 20, 2003 - 1:03 am: |
Jake, thank you for the gorgeous panoramas of the exhibit! Very nice! We get to "be there" after all... :-)
|
By Martin de Weger (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2461) on Friday, June 20, 2003 - 1:33 am: |
Jake thank you for sharing these pictures with us and congratulations with Yana's Birthday.

Sorry Jake, I've not been able to send or post my pictures of it yet. Hopefully I can find some time tonight.

By Marc @ CrystalVisions (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1094) on Friday, June 20, 2003 - 10:16 am: |
And congratulations, of course

By Cynde (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #7126) on Friday, June 20, 2003 - 10:27 am: |
Linda and Dara, congratulations! WOW, 250 people! You both add a class to the island! Thanks for sharing the pics with us!

Jake, thanks so much for the pictures! Linda and Dara, congratulations on a successful show -- everything looked beautiful. And Lisa and Joe at PasaBon, congratulations to you two as well for hosting the big event!

By Elizabeth Thompson (New BonaireTalk Poster - Post #9) on Friday, June 20, 2003 - 7:35 pm: |
Many congratulations to both artists on a great show and wonderful turn-out -- both of which -- thanks to Jake, we get to see!! So sorry we missed it by a couple of weeks. The paintings are lovely, and it is a joy to look at the crowd and recognise some faces who helped make our recent vacation so special. Hope those red dots are arriving! Liz and Patrick
|
By Linda Richter - NetTech (Moderator - Post #1416) on Saturday, June 21, 2003 - 2:21 pm: |
A friend on opening night explained the red dots to me. So I think I might have one red dot on the way. cross my fingers!

By Carole Baker (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2447) on Sunday, June 22, 2003 - 4:46 am: |
How wonderful for both of you, Linda and Dara! Congratulations on your joint exhibits. I would have been in deep trouble if we were able to attend as I would have wanted to purchase several of the items on display! How could anyone resist such beauty on canvas? Such beautiful work all around. I had to settle for prints of a lot of the originals before we left on June 7.
|
By Cecil Berry (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #2620) on Sunday, June 22, 2003 - 12:11 pm: |
Glad it went so well and quite a showing both the art and the people. I know you both worked very hard for this show and the success is well deserved.
|
By Marc @ CrystalVisions (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1103) on Tuesday, June 24, 2003 - 4:56 pm: |
My pictures of the reception will be on our site with the next update, probably Thursday. I will let you all know when they're there.

I had a Klaverjas tournament last Wednesday (and won it! ), so I didn't have time to prepare the site...

By DARLENE ELLIS (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #779) on Friday, June 27, 2003 - 1:24 pm: |
Marc, Great shots of the exhibit!!! It was nice to see all their work close up once again. Congratulations Dara and Linda and I hope those red dots keep rolling in!
|
By Cynde (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #7286) on Friday, June 27, 2003 - 10:12 pm: |
Marc, fantastic shots of the art work and people! I can't wait to get there and see them up close and personal Linda and Dara, don't know what the red dots are, but if they are good, keep em rolling as darlene said!
