On Being Inspired by Ancient Art

People have always made art of one sort or another, from the earliest times until today. It's part of what makes us human.

That's exactly what the Minoan seal rings have done for me: provide inspiration for modern art. Here's a look at my Minoan Seal Ring Project, modern style paintings based on the scenes depicted on the beautiful gold rings found in Minoan tombs:

In the name of the bee, And of the butterfly, And of the breeze, amen.
