Nine thousand year old casein cave paintings have been discovered in Asia, and later, the medium was used by Byzantine, Roman and Renaissance artists including the Old Masters. Known for their versatility and array of capabilities, casein paints can be used to create a variety of effects from the rich opaques of oil to thin watercolor washes.</span><br />

This is a companion piece to Red Rock Ride I. Red Rock Ride II was recently juried into the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies' Annual Show to be held this year in Scottsdale, Arizona, at the Fountain Hills Community Center for the month of April. This is a tremendous honor. During the first week of the show we will learn which paintings the Juror Cheng-Khee Chee has selected for awards.Laurie Asaharahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09129108423079700906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215098956760764104.post-90793362825441536932013-06-19T16:40:00.001-06:002013-06-19T16:41:06.867-06:00Red Rock Ride Purchased by Idaho Power Company<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

wildlife photographer Scott Frye. We both agree about how elusive these birds
are, only he had the tenacity to capture one on film before it managed to fly off. You
can see in the bird's eye that he knew that this time, he didn't get away! Gouache, 20 x 24.</span><br />
