The Wishing Tree, from the Salvadore Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. Museum visitors tie their wishes onto ribbons attached to a tree on the museum grounds. And of course Elizabeth and I made wishes of our own.
Just an aside, when we arrived at the Museum I realized how much more entertaining our day would have been had we painted elaborate mustaches on our faces prior.
I never studied Salvadore Dali's work extensively, but let me tell you that this is changing. After today's museum visit, he is a new favorite - he was passionate about his materials, his process, and his beliefs.
On our drive home, I read aloud excerpts from a new acquisition - his book 50 Secrets of Master Craftsmanship. Brilliant!
Hope your wishes come true,
Kim

Dalí était un sacré grand personnage ! Et son oeuvre grandiose...
ReplyDeleteGros bisous.
Martine, are there collections of Dali's art in France (forgive me, for I am a new convert to Surrealism) - he is a remarkable artist. I hope that you find the same sort of inspiration from him as I did. :)
