The water lily painted on this mask is an image of the Nymphaea ‘William McLane’ growing at Denver Botanic Gardens It was hybridized for the Legacy Collection at the Gardens by Joe Tomocik, former head of the DBG water gardens. Casein paint was used on this mask exclusively. Casein paint is one of the oldest painting mediums in existence. Unlike watercolors or oils this paint is a milk-based paint. My goal is to paint all of the water lilies in the Legacy collection at Denver Botanic Gardens completing one each year for the Mask Project.
