" ARGUS' 12X12" Acrylic
In the Odyssey, Odysseus' faithful dog Argus recognized his master after twenty years (and immediately died). Today argus may be used in reference to an observant or vigilant person, or to a watchful guardian.
Although this painting is certainly not recent - in fact it was done over ten years ago - today it serves as a reminder to me in my work and life in general about remaining vigilant to the images, stories and voices of the world.
The painting's composition circles back on itself and a coppery metallic palette makes reference to the original story from antiquity.
