― Frida Kahlo
In 1976, the year before I entered the Art Department of the University of Lethbridge as a student, I had painted, among many works since the start of the seventies, this Dali inspired piece.
Just recently I realized I had not even added it in my Catalogue raisonné nor is it on my website. The only place I had posted it once was on DeviantArt. So closing that gap I published it yesterday on my Wordpress Blog

But I digress. About the Minotaur painting, the Philippine writer Kristine Ong Muslim included a poetic description in her book We Bury the Landscape (she had also written about several more of my paintings) - I have no idea where I had found this excerpt, perhaps at the time I saved a screenshot it was available on line:
