| "Dali's 'Stache", My 5x7 June Nibblefest Art Contest Entry |
It's June. Summer is upon us! And a lovely one so far it is too, which I have been very much enjoying. Busy to be sure however (very!) -- so much so in fact, that I found myself skipping last month's Nibblefest Art Contest. Ugh. With everything else going on around here, I just wasn't quite able to get my act together enough to pull an entry out of my hat, despite May's interesting "Freak Show" theme. I really dislike skipping the contest (because I know how that can be a dangerously slippery slope!), and so it served to make me especially determined to have something ready for THIS month's "Surrealism" theme. Thus, we have my June entry:

When considering the theme "Surrealism", what pops into your mind...? For me, I myself couldn't help but think of one of the Surrealist movement's favorite sons (or not, depending with whom you talk), the late/great Salvador Dali. Dali was probably (in)famously known as much for his side-show hijinks as for his art -- heck, even his mustache had it's very own book...!
Well, as creative as Dali got with his 'stache, grooming it into ever more outlandish shapes (someone wrote and told me it took him 15 years to train his moustache to grow upwards) even he never took it quite this far (so I did it for him...!).

My auction description...:
~"Dali's 'Stache"~
My entry for this month's
Nibblefest Art Contest (NFAC), the
theme for June being 'SURREALISM',
features a portrait painted in tribute to a certain late, well-known
painter of the Surrealist genre. Some may recall how Salvador Dali
often liked to creatively groom his long, handlebar mustache into
interesting silhouettes -- I just had fun imagining what it might have
been like to take that particular personal predilection of his to the
next level......
Painted upon a found, 5 x 7 wood plaque, this original, "Dali's 'Stache", is signed and ready to hang (with the back of the plaque having a small nail hole)......
