Remastered by doodle Dali’s The Peristence of Memory (the one with the melting watches).
I had a request from Petal47 to try some Dali in my drawing of masters and classic paintings for this “remastered” series.
Apologies that the paper on this scan is a little bit creased.
Here it is drawn in ink with watercolour. A6 – approx 6″ x 4″.
What can I say, Rachel? You most certainly have RE-mastered those deflated clocks. Whom the bell tolls – and all that. Dali was big when I was a certain age – particularly amongst my artistically inclined and mind-enhanced friends. However, that particular painting I always circled like the proverbial cat does a poisoned offering. It doesn’t meet my natural state of buoyancy (what a word!). And no, I don’t wear a watch – haven’t done so for years. Great conversation opener with complete strangers: “Do you have the time, please?”

I used to answer “Do you know what time it is” with “Yes.” Then I’d see how long it took for them to look confused. 🙂
This is a fun piece. 🙂
Well, Cinderkeys, I think you quite cruel. Wait till you need to know what time it is, and then you’ll be late …

Mostly I don’t even know what day (or month) it is – let alone what the time is!
It’s quarter to two.
Pleased to be of help!
Great! Thanks Mikki :o)
Thank you Rachel – I love the colours, I think it would be really striking converted into cross stitch and sewn on smooth linen. The blue and yellow are particularly good to look at. And I like the idea of re-imagining an imagined image, it’s kind of meta-imagined.
Ooooh meta-imagined … that’s deep :o)
I saw a short piece on Picasso on the TV last night and how he painted versions of a (I think it was Manet) painting over and over again. Through the years he painted loads. So maybe I’m onto something ;o)
Would you mind if I posted this meta-Dali on my blog, with a link to you? I do think it’s lovely.
That’s fine by me :o)
