S. Dali and W. Disney's DESTINO original version.

I must confess that I've never seen this before, fascinating glimpse into the past.

An obvious marriage when you think about it. Disney sold out unfortunately but Dali remained true to his pa-ra-dox. The music should have been Schoenberg or better in my opinion Alexander Goehr, a Manchester modernist who, I think, is still alive.
I once had a dream of creating art which combined painting, or design, with modernist music and I used Goehr as my first foray. Alas that was many years ago before the necessity to provide food and shelter for a wife and offspring. The jumping dischords and sweeping crescendos portrayed in paint still annoy my aged brain.
 
That was then, this is now with the convention of age. Done in pastels which I have seldom used before and as yet unfinished as you might discern. Dunno if this'll work.

There is a huge Salvadore Dali museum in Tampa , Florida. I've gone a few times, i like his works, but being so ....surreal, there is only so much you can take.

But when the mood is right, and i want to go, it's a fun time.
 
Thx, something I've done for yrs.

In the process of photographing all art I have at home for a new website, maybe sell some next year. I'll shamelessly self promote here when site is up.

No where near finished yet. Might just ditch it...that's what I usually do. If it doesn't make me say WOW and bring tears to my eyes it'll be binned.

I'm the same way, a lot of time I know it won't work when I'm trying to fix too many mistakes already made. Pastels are cool I've been playing with them for the last few months. Keep layering the color until it looks great or throw it away.

I like to stretch a thick piece of watercolor paper so it's real flat and do a quick loose painting then go into it with pastels. with the dark watercolors in the background the bright pastels really pop.

No competition, no winning and losing, portraits take a lot of time to learn to do and color adds worlds of risks and headaches. Plus everybody sees things differently.

Thanks for that. Nice stuff. Never had much success with watercolours but oils and acrylics can swallow one up until time has no meaning.

Ahhh.... time and money. Never had much success with oils, they were always too expensive and stinky and I never had a place to paint. I went to watercolors and pastels for color.

Thinking about joining some group so maybe I can get some of my stuff shown here, 10 min from where we live...

Btw... opening ceremonies were mind blowing

Now THAT is something America does well. We have no such facilities. A friend was/is a street artist and she and several others were given a dilapidated government building to work in but after a year or two they were thrown out for redevelopment and now have nowhere to work. This girl actually runs a daily cartoon in one of the best selling newspapers and still has no voice. Art here is simply how much money you have and what paintings can you afford. So we get huge art exhibitions that are run solely by dealers and auctioneers. We visit but get the backs of expensive suits once they realise we are not there to buy. Feel like pinning a 'Kick Me' sign on to them. There is almost no creativity per se.
