Violence of Medea I: For Glauce


Violence of Medea I: For Glauce, 2012. 21" x 34". Acrylic on cardboard.

My 200th post! It's like celebrating your 200th conversation with yourself! Yay! You're crazy!

The painting here is another in the Jason cycle I've been doting on recently. It is the first part of Medea descent into rage and violence. The golden dress was poisoned by her and given to the paramour of Jason, Glauce. Anytime the garment came in contact with sunlight it would burst into inextinguishable flame. It took the lives of both Glauce and her father King Creon.
