Surreal Sunday

Surreal Wednesday

Dali Saturday

    Still my favorite painter of all time.

Retirement

    As of today, after a challenging and fulfilling 46 years at the same company I am officially and happily retired.

Surreal Saturday

    I don't remember now if this is an actual Salvador Dali creation, or someone emulating his work.  Either way, it's quite good.

A Double-Dose of Surrealism

    A little bit of surrealism during one's day always brightens things up.

    A panhandler was playing his trade this morning on the intersection where our corporate office is.  I came upon him around 9:30 as I was doing my morning Fitbit walk around the outside of the office.

    He held a sign that said "Too ugly for prostitution", and was waving to cars going through the light and shouting out numbers by count.  "37!  38!", etc.  He'd also stoop down a bit and wave to motorists stopped to make a right-hand turn at the intersection.  "39!"

    I tried to avoid eye contact with him as I passed him by.  But he looked at me, gave me a big smile, and waved.  I couldn't help it, I had to wave back.  "40!" he cried.  "40 smiles today!"  And I beamed a bit more at the morning surrealism I found myself participating in.

    He was still there when I did my Fitbit afternoon walkabout, around 2:30.  "How many smiles are you up to now?" I asked.

    "I'm not sure.  I do some of the counting in fractions (half-smiles?, thought I) , and I'm not very good at arithmetic."  And that was my afternoon dose of surrealism.

    FULL DISCLOSURE: The above picture is not of him.  I pulled it off the internet.  I still wasn't ready to risk setting him off by snapping his photo.

Dali Tuesday

    We are committed to all things Dali.

Phish

    The joke itself has been around for quite some time.  But what amazes me about this comic strip is that the cartoonist knows of, and gives a nod to, the band Phish.

Surreal Saturday

    Artist: Mother Nature.

Sunday Surrealism

Surreal Saturday

    Simply breathtaking! 

Surreal Saturday

    Utterly awesome!

Surreal Thursday

    Or RIF ("Reading Is Fun") Thursday.  Or even "Reading Is Freaky" Thursday.

Thursday Surrealism

    Reportedly, there are 28 animals in the picture.  I counted up to around 25 of them, but was getting confused as to which ones I'd already counted.  So I fully believe the "28" total.

Salvador Dali Monday

    RIP, Salvador Dali.  Died 01/23/89.  This is one of my favorite Dali paintings, although, truth be told, I have about 100 of those.

    It is, however, my favorite Dali title: 

50 Abstract Paintings which Seen from Two Metres Change into Three Lenins Disguised as Chinese and Seen from Six Metres Appear as the Head of a Royal Tiger

Star Wars Surrealism Friday!

Happy Birthday, Salvador Dali

    Salvador Dali is without a doubt my favorite artist of all time.  He was born on May 11, 1904.

Surreal Saturday!

   Give me Surreal Art over Abstract Art any day.

Surreal Thursday

Surreal Saturday

    Or Art Appreciation Saturday.  Both work just fine.
