persistence of memory.

thank you, little followers. hehe. the numbers slowly climbing.

12.


not much. but more than none. thank you, for caring and sharing!


I was up until 5 am this morning working on my painting final, thinking i really shouldnt have waited until the night before to start it. I can pound out portraits like nobodies business and usually within 3-4 hours but painting shiny metal on melted clocks i've found takes more patience and care. but, eight hours later, i finished! (and got a 98!)






(there's a few things missing between the original and mine, can you spot them? hehe). most people say this piece is influenced by the freudian analysis of dreams but the freudian trend didn't really hit until after the A-bomb was dropped in 1940-something. This piece was painted in 1930...one? either way, before the freudian influence had really hit society. soooo i'm thinking dali was just on alot of heavy drugs when he painted this piece? "mm.....melted butter....oh look at the time!" or perhaps he'd just been much more up on his reading.
