My attempt at Surreal Art

The challenge on our Painting Friends forum this month was to paint in a surrealist style.

This is my effort at surreal art - and what have I learned?
1) its great fun
2) always use a ruler to measure floor tiles!

  1. Interesting... there is a Salvador Dali in you! I like how the pattern of the tiles continues in the landscape! And the painting on the easle is genius!

  3. Hi Pat. Well, move over Dali! I think this should be called the 'persistence of eggs'! I like the paiting in the easel like the laughing cow with the earring that goes on forever:)

  5. I love surrealism. I think if you get more depth in it, it will be great.

  6. Hi, Pat,
    Congrats! Oh~~, this interesting work reminds me of Dali, too. The dual structure in the work is fun and great. Colours are beautiful. Only the deficit is this work makes me hungry...
    Cheers, Sadami

  10. It is very bright and fun. I like it.

    I bragged about you yesterday on another blog. I just couldn't help it...she asked what our inspiration was.

    Hope your spirits are up a bit. xx

  12. Thanks, everyone!
    It was great fun to do.. I very nearly painted the coffee cup I have from the Dali museum with his signature on it :)

    Under the counter are the ingredients for a key lime pie - so that might be a good choice, Teresa :lol:

    Tonya, you're too kind.. now which blog was it so I can go look? hahahhaa

  13. I really liked, you could balance the composition and creativity especially in the sinuous form of the bridge that conversation very well with the shape of eggs.
    Congratulations Pat!
