Using a canine “Rhyton” as the reference for a recent stream of consciousness painting.
Added 2025-03-03 21:28:04 +0000 UTCI have been making these stream of consciousness paintings. I called them “release valve” paintings. It’s a “request and-response” process. I receive instruction intuitively with very basic reference material and I’m led down a path in which I don’t know the end destination.
I start with some kind of reference, very basic. In this case I started with an image of a canine rhyton, which is an ancient Greco-Roman drinking vessel. The painting eventually took on the meaning of fire. The day after I completed it the Eaton fire broke out in California. This was back in January.
