In a land far away, hidden deep within a dense forest, there was a legend about a magical rod that possessed incredible powers. It was said that anyone who wielded this rod would be granted their heart's desires. Villagers from all around had heard the tales and dreamt of finding the rod for themselves. One day, a brave and determined young lady named Amelia decided to embark on a quest to find the mythical rod. She had always been fascinated by legends of old and believed that she could be the one to uncover the truth. Equipped with nothing but her wits and a map she had found in an ancient book, Amelia set out on her journey.
Rod Chase takes hundreds of photographs of each of his subjects, combining them with historical photographs, to produce a timeless quality in each of his works. "Being a photo-realist, I am dependent on finding accurate reference material for each painting," the artist explains. Chase works with acrylics on canvas spending hundreds of hours on each painting as he strives to present a fresh and unique view to familiar subjects. Chase is very excited about painting our nation s capitol. On a recent trip, he spent a week photographing Washington s landmarks, including The White House, the Capitol, and the Supreme Court building. Rising very early each day, Chase photographed the dramatic light of sunrise, and late in the day he revisited several sites to capture the soft, moody glow of twilight. Between sessions, he researched old photos at the National Archives and the Library of Congress. Over the next few months, Chase will create dramatic, awe-inspiring scenes of Washington for his collectors by combining antique and modern photography with just the right touch of artistic license. Chase was born and raised in Canada after marrying a Texas girl, he moved to the United States. He and his wife, Debbie, have four children, who are home-schooled. The family recently moved from the Houston area to the Texas Hill Country.

Rod Chase spent many hours photographing the Grand Canal and also the smaller, inner canals. Much of his photography was at twilight or dusk, but on several mornings he and his wife rose early to enjoy a �different Venice� - few tourists and no gondoliers or boat traffic. The city was totally still and quiet except for the sounds of water lapping against the timeworn bricks or the hulls of tethered boats. The mists of morning made the narrow canals all but vanish. As dramatic and awe-inspiring as Venice was in the evening, it was even more remarkable in the morning - a magical moment when the city seemed invisible except for the soft colors of the ancient buildings reflecting in the water. It was a world of delicate hues and magnificent textures � so real up close, then silently disappearing like a dream in the silvery mists of morning.

As Amelia ventured deeper into the forest, she encountered various mystical creatures, each trying to prevent her from reaching her goal. She had to outsmart cunning goblins, evade powerful spells cast by enchanted sorcerers, and navigate through dark and eerie tunnels infested with menacing spiders. Despite the many challenges she faced, Amelia's determination never wavered. She believed in the power of the magical rod and the hope it could bring to her village. With unwavering resolve, she pushed herself to the limits, refusing to give up even when she felt her strength fading. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Amelia stumbled upon a hidden cave. Intrigued, she cautiously entered and found herself in a chamber filled with mystical artifacts and ancient writings. In the center of the chamber, the magical rod was resting on an ornate pedestal. With trembling hands, Amelia reached out and grasped the magical rod. Suddenly, a surge of energy coursed through her body, filling her with a sense of power and wonder. She had finally achieved what she had set out to do – she had found the magical rod. Embracing the responsibility that came with possessing the powerful artifact, Amelia returned to her village, using the rod's powers for the greater good. The villagers' dreams came true, and the once desolate land transformed into a prosperous and peaceful community. The story of Amelia's quest spread far and wide, and she became a hero in the eyes of many. But for Amelia, the real magic was not in the rod itself, but in the journey she had taken to find it. It was the strength, determination, and belief in herself that had led her to success. So, let Amelia's adventure be a reminder that sometimes, the most magical things in life come from within us. It is our dreams, our perseverance, and our ability to believe in something greater than ourselves that allow us to achieve the extraordinary..
