    Silliness like this can Dali as long as it likes, brilliant! Nobody can say that your paintings are static ... they are truly dynamic with a life of their own

      Thanks so much, John - it seems I have a propensity to try and paint an eventful moment in space and time, portraits notwithstanding!

    So awesome! I always remember that Dali had the great idea of having false nails that were mirrors!
    Happy Painting.

    Susan, This is a wonderful painting! I am a huge fan of Dali and frequently visit his gallery in St. Petersburg, FL. Every time I go, I see something new in his work. He is a huge inspiration! Nicely done.
