Would You Allow Someone to Paint Your Portrait?

Take the quiz to the right, won't you?

Portrait of Jeanne Hébuterne
Modigliani's last muse 

If you answered "in a heartbeat" to the poll question, send me the image of a portrait by a painter whom you'd want to paint your portrait and in what style.

The Friday Evening Nudes

Poll results thus far clearly indicate that readers of The Pagan Sphinx are 51%  supportive of naked nymphs as blog decor.  Only one voter asked for a Surrealist painting but I do have a tendency to listen to the minorities and would be happy to change it to something really trippy by, say, Leonor Fini or Leonora Carrington. One of these days, but for now Nymphs triumph.

Seven, or 24% of readers voted to "keep it nude", so they should be satisfied with the Bougereau for a while longer. But never worry about a lack of nudity in art around here!  The Friday Evening Nudes is coming up, as promised.

"When the Amherst sphinx styled herself a pagan, she meant she didn’t believe in the biblical God. What sort of deity, if any, she did believe in is hard to pinpoint."
