Description Watercolor and Guache on watercolor paper

I always thought of a sphinx as more of a force of nature than a riddle-making character. The Symbolists used the Sphinx to represent the inspiration that gripped an artist to create, a powerful and seductive but potentially dangerous force that could grant magical gifts or tear a person to shreds.

This was just what I was looking for, and you have inspired me so much!

I was hoping I could find a Sphinx creature that incorporated a peacock feather motif, and this is stunning. Thank you!

The colors and the amount of detail in this are absolutely stunning. I cannot decide if I like the feathers or the beads more. Either way they go stunning together.
