How to Order

Painted on a black-gessoed canvas, this acrylic painting is a valentine to the surrealist Salvatore Dali, whose "Hallucinogenous Bullfighter" inspired the images found on Big River Beach, my favorite here in Mendocino. The child is supposedly Dali himself as a child, and can be found in many of his works, including "The Spector of Sex Appeal," "Gala with Two Lamb Chops Balanced on Her Shoulder," and "Triangular Shadow." The idea of the observer on the beach appears many times throughout Dali's work, particularly "The Spector of Sex Appeal."
