The Weekend Roundup and Weekend Reflections

TimIt is time for Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup and the letter is I and Inspired.  Today I am showing you how two famous artists where INSPIRED to paint these particular paintings but first I have my REFLECTION image, a selfie taken in a mirror at the Art Gallery.
s 







I found it INTERESTING how Dali turned back to Christianity (I did not know this) and that his INTENTION in painting this work of art was  to show this (and more) and in fact this was so unlike Dali's usual work that this painting have been INSPIRATIONAL to many people in many ways.

Many thanks for your visit and also your comments.

    I liked your showing of the Dali life plaque. I learned. It must have been scary for him traveling among the European countries when the Germans were in control. I would stay put.

    Yes, the pastels are my own. But mostly I use only 2-3 pencils to comlete my acrylic paintings with them.
