'Argyll Falls' by Steve Bonner
'Follow Tobago's tortuous East Coast road north from Scarborough. Eventually you'll
become aware of small boys jabbing their fingers into the air and yelling "Waterfall!".
There are dozens of streams tumbling down from the islands forested central ridge,
this one, the Argyll Falls, is perhaps the most spectacular. The lower pool is in
almost permanent shade, while those above step up into the sunshine. A lovely place.
A further view 'A walk downstream' is the subject of another painting of mine on
this site' -
'A Walk Downstream' by Steve Bonner
'Tobago has many waterfalls, where streams cascade down from the highlands, and the
best known is probably Argyll Falls. This painting is a view downstream as the path
emerges from the shade of the rainforest into the sunshine of more open bamboo and
scrub. A magical walk through the woods, with the bubbling stream keeping cheerful
company all the way. I remember a Tobagonian friend saying, when I showed him the
painting, "You don't have to tell me where that is. I've lost count of the number

'House on stilts' by Steve Bonner
'This little chattel house or 'case house', as they're more properly known, is typical
of the style favoured in Trinidad and Tobago with it's central gable. Historically

house could be taken down, put on a cart, and transported to wherever work was to

in a new concrete base. Note the air-
'Jemma's Seafood Restaurant'
by Steve Bonner
'Take a drive up Tobago's east coast road and just as that "I'm a bit peckish" feeling
starts to niggle, this pretty little restaurant hoves into view. With a fallen Indian
Almond growing through the middle of it you'll find Jemma's delightful. The Menu?
Anything you want, providing of course it's Chicken or Fish -
‘Room with a view' by Steve Bonner
'Throughout the Caribbean there are slight differences in the design of the traditional
houses. In Trinidad and Tobago they're built on piles rather than stone plinths as
on Barbados. The owners of the house featured in this painting are presumably replacing

timber. I have seen taller -
