SPHINX WITH CHERRIES

“There is a type of woman who, ever since my boyhood, has invariably attracted me. She is the woman with the eyes of a sphinx, whom desire makes cruel and cruelty makes desirous.”
― Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, The Master Masochist: Tales of a Sadistic Mistress
SPHINX WITH CHERRIES

..... this is probably one of my earliest works in Canada. I sort of remember it was sold in Calgary when my gallerist from Lethbridge brought it there to a client for viewing.
Unfortunately, like with many of my early works, the only record I have of it is from a scanned copy of a regular 4x6" photo.

I don't think I ever posted this one anywhere else, because I just now cleaned up the photo after I found it in my stacks (of "lost" images).

some early work previously posted:
BRIDE OF THE WIND - CALLA MADONNA - THE MINOTAUR - DAVID - ENIGMATIC PRAIRIE
