whoa... that's damn funky

Hey you guys, Thanks for the daily dev!... a total surprise...!!!

Can anyone explain to me the link between Salvador Dali and this piece? I have studied Dali's work for quite some (as well as many other artists) and I can't see the significance of this piece in relation to Dali. Was this just done because it's odd...or was this supposed to be in the style of Dali? Because it's not surrealistic in style.

The Trip

Bundled in their coats and hats and mittens and boots, the Missing parts congregated at Rick's house for the annual trek to the Sal Dali Museum. Held each year in early winter, when the weather is cold and rainy, the trip is one of necessity. It honors a Missing part named Sal, who long ago, was so driven and inspired by artistic dreams and education, and study and the pure fun he had just doing it, actually became an artist.

(A great love for the work of Salvador Dali, led Sal to even change his last name to Dali. His mother was greatly chagrined, but has since changed her mind, she said, as she sipped her tea in the breakfast room of the mansion Sal bought for her last year)

The trip is a special treat because every year, in honor of who he is and where he comes from, don't you know, Sal Dali paints a special painting, which he then hangs in the great vestibule of the museum. It is designed to be the first thing the Missing parts see as they enter.

Intermission
a note from the author: The three images are numbered 1, 2 and 3. I wrote about them in reverse order because I liked the idea of the transition beginning from what we know, to what we do not. You might feel the opposite, therefore you and I are both correct, and if you wish to read them 123 instead of 321, then you may, and it will have no bearing upon the outcome of the story.

The Great Vestibule
"Hommage to Dali-winter-ver3"

The moment was one of reverence. The sound was 'whoosh', a soft sound of inhalation as each, in unison, caught their breath, when collectively their eyes focused upon the great and wonderful painting. They were mesmerized for a moment, then began to move closer. "Oooooh" someone said, "YES!" said another, and Sal's mom began to cry.

(mom's are like that you know. they will cry when they are sad or mad or happy or melancholy or ecstatic...it is the way mom's are, even the mom's of Missing parts)

The painting was of golds and yellows and silver. It was a portrait of Missing parts, but they were not painted smooth, like you and I are used to seeing them. They were thickly painted, shiny, and there was a sense that they were moving somehow. We weren't sure if they were morphing or shivering. We did sense though that this painting was one in transition, and that fact intrigued us no end.

thats great. absofantabulistic. i dunno why this had to get so off subject as to have people asking what it had to do with dali, but i totally see it. great job, nice work

i love it man. very good and finally something different
