"Rah Rah" are Haitian musicians, free-roaming
bands that play a wonderfully hypnotic music. Wherever you hear the
Rah Rah playing, there are bound to be lots of people trailing behind
them, dancing in the streets.
Rah Rah use long reed pipes that give a deep haunting
tone to the music. The music echoes off the hills, so you can never
really tell where the Rah Rah are. In this painting, I used pointillist
technique to represent the music flowing from the Rah Rah's pipes.
The music is also wrapped around the woman who is joyfully dancing
to the Rah Rah music.

What is a Giclee?
A Giclee (pronounced Zhee-Clay) is a very
high end digitally produced archival quality print. Giclees are printed
on archival substrates, such as Arches Cold Press watercolor papers,
Somerset watercolor papers or specially prepared canvases, with archival,
light fast inks, at a very high resolution. Depending on the medium
of the original work, giclees are printed on paper or canvas. Watercolor
paintings render very well on the watercolor papers, and oil paintings
printed as canvas giclees have the rich tonal quality of original
oil paintings. Canvas giclees are also coated with a special finishing
media to protect the surface. Canvas giclees are stretched and framed
as one would display an original oil painting. Watercolor giclees
are typically framed behind glass, as one would do with an original
watercolor painting.
Giclees capture and reproduce the nuance and splendor
of the original work of art. Giclees are now found in MoMA and The
Louvre. Giclees are used when the original painting is too fragile
for exhibition. Giclees render very closely to the original work of
art.
