River Art

(click to big)
So I'm having a beer with an old river running buddy, and he says: "If you're really a Boatman on The Canyon, then you have a piece of artwork given to you by a passenger."
I said: "yup. I have one."
This is a painting by my dear friend Bex Deluxe, that hangs proudly on my wall.

World's Oldest Painting?

Photo

Found in Syria, the oldest (known) painting in the world:

French archaeologists have discovered an 11,000-year-old wall painting underground in northern Syria which they believe is the oldest in the world.

The 2 square-meter painting, in red, black and white, was found at the Neolithic settlement of Djade al-Mughara on the Euphrates, northeast of the city of Aleppo, team leader Eric Coqueugniot told Reuters.

"It looks like a modernist painting. Some of those who saw it have likened it to work by (Paul) Klee. Through carbon dating we established it is from around 9,000 B.C.," Coqueugniot said.

Another reason to prevent "the Cheney" from starting a war with Syria.
