If you're yearning for a cool respite from triple-digit temperatures, find your way to the "Water Walk" casein paintings exhibition through July 27 at Jane Hamilton Fine Art.
Casein is a quick-drying, aqueous medium that uses a durable, milk-based binding agent.
Artist Ingrid Williams has specialized in painting with casein since 1999.
Williams has made a name for herself around the country and has been featured on "Arizona Illustrated" on KUAT-TV.
Jane Hamilton Fine Art is at 1825 E. River Road, Suite 111. Summer hours are 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and Thursday evenings in July from 6 to 9 p.m. Admission is free. 529-4886.
