resistance to persistence

I’ve been a huge fan of Salvador Dali since the late 80’s when I started discovering oil painting. I’ve followed a lot of his work. In my 2nd last year of highschool I did a replica of one of his works and I spent 150 hours and it was my first oil painting. It still hangs in my house to this day and is my proudest painting. It’s Autumn Cannibalism and can be seen here.

This May on my honeymoon, my wife and I visited the Salvador Dali museum in Figures, Spain. Very interesting to see. I’d always dreamed of seeing it and I’m glad I did. Although I was disappointed with the number of works there. Not a lot of his very popular works are housed there. I believe most are in the Dali museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. I’ll have to make it there next. One of my favorites was there and it was a massive ceiling mural.

You can view many of his works here…Galleries of Salvador Dali Works
