| Artist's comments |
|
"Top left one chachalaca, right down the other chachalaca ... this one is the male. They form a couple. These birds we find them in the virgin jungle. They feed from fruit of the trees and plants which are in the jungle. They are in danger of extinction. This is a fresh morning and the view is very nice altogether with trees, bushes and plants. In the middle is the tree called Alfaro Lagarto (Aspidosperma cylindrocarpon), heavy wood of good quality for fine buildings, cabinets, brackets and so on. At the left is the tree called "Palosangre Amarillo" (swartzia cardiosperma), at the right the tree "Aguano-masha" (Paramachaerium ormosioides), hard wood of great value in industry. The plant which is in the middle is a medicinal plant we use for baths. It gives energy. The vine where the Chachalacas rest is called "Tambor-huasca." |
