As a boy I have seen the Painting "Kiss Of The Sphynx" of Franz von Stuck and I was overwelmed. Since this day I've tried to catch the expression of this masterpiece and to interprete it in every technique I've learned: in Acrylics, Oil, Pastell, Watercolors and Carbon...I failed several dozen times, for years.
Now, after more than sixteen years of try and fail on this picture, I've created this painting above in Photopaint. I am so happy that I've made a dream come through - only with patience over the years, my hands, an iron will and Photopaint.
