Today I added some words to a cropped April 2007 watercolour. (Right brain spelling error! SNORT.)
(The yellow blotches are on my scanner screen and not the actual page .... time to clean that up!)
Dali: The Vision of Genius, presented by Galerie Elysees, was on display at the Time Warner Center from November 3, 2010 to April 30, 2011. The exhibition featured sixteen sculptures and over forty original drawings by Dali, who called New York home during his most fertile period, from 1939 to 1948.
Persistence of Memory was first conceived and cast in 1980. The mold was created and approved during Dali's lifetime. This bronze casting was cast in 2000 at Perseo SA Foundry.
In this piece, Dali has isolated the central image of of his best-known painting and given it the same title. It is a simple figure: a limp watch draped over the branch of a dead tree. Dalinean time is not rigid; it is one with space...fluid. The unexpected softness of the watch also represents the psychological fact that the speed of time, while precise in scientific use, is widely variable in human perception. When we are involved in pleasant activities or in work that absorbs all our attention, 'time flies', but when we are mired in boredom or discomfort, it drags. The limp watch no longer 'keeps' time; it does not measure its passage. Thus, the speed of our time depends only on us.
Introduced, yearlong-green, perennial, erect legume; to 1 m tall. Leaves have 3 leaflets, each to 30 mm long and with toothed margins near the tip; the stalk of central leaflet is longer than the two lateral ones. Flowerheads are racemes of 20-30, mostly purple, pea-like flowers. Pods are cylindrical and spineless, with 2-3 coils. Flowering is from spring to autumn. A native of the Mediterranean and Asia, it is sown on deep well-drained soils (e.g. alluvial flats) and is naturalised along roadsides. Does not like acid soils with a pHCa below 5 and is very sensitive to aluminium to depth. Deep-rooted, high quality, high production potential legume, it is suitable for hay, silage, grazing and cropping. Varieties vary in their winter dormancy and disease resistance. There are a number of leaf and crown diseases which can affect lucerne stands on the coast, so careful variety selection and stand management is essential. Poor basal cover of pure lucerne stands can lead to erosion. Weed competition can severely reduce lucerne establishment – plan well ahead. Causes bloat in cattle and photosensitisation in horses. Requires rotational grazing for best production and persistence. Cut or graze at 10 per cent flower or when crown shoots are 1-2 cm long on 50 per cent of plants. Do not graze below 5 cm. Back fencing aids persistence and production when used for grazing.
We have made many, many variations on this concept over the years. Each pair is completely different in technique, execution and materials. We wonder why our brains are stuck on this.

A Bergdorf Goodman window display, reworked from the Inspired Gifts series in a minimalist way with tinges of The Persistence of Memory by artist Salvador Dalí.
This is another sculpture by Salvador Dali, one that borrows from his most famous theme, the melting clocks (or soft watches). Interestingly, this bronze bears the same title as his most famous painting (Persistence of Memory), which he produced in 1931. There is no doubt that these pieces (the bronze as well as the painting) symbolize the element of time, but I found it very interesting to read about the various interpretations of so-called art experts and critiques on what Dali really tried to portray with these works of art, especially the painting (reproduced below).

Bangor RFC v Donaghadee restart catch
Crushing win against the Dee
by Roger Corbett
In a keenly anticipated local derby, Donaghadee briefly took the lead by 3-8, until Bangor produced what is becoming something of a trademark in turning the game around, and responded with a further 53 unanswered points to win convincingly by 56-8.
The sun certainly shone on Upritchard Park on Saturday – our final corporate lunch of the season, glorious playing conditions, the earlier loss to Donaghadee avenged with style, and the 6 Nations secured in Paris. Also among the large crowd of spectators who lined the touchlines were Ulster stars Craig Gilroy and Mike McComish. With the pitch in perfect condition, and the weather conditions glorious, the scene was set for a great afternoon’s sport.
Like Bangor the week before, Donaghadee were catching up with their fixtures, and this marked their third game in 8 days. However, nobody would have thought it as they took the game to Bangor straight from the kick-off. Within a couple of minutes, they had forced a penalty in front of Bangor’s posts, which was successfully converted. However, this was soon cancelled out when the Dee conceded a penalty which Mark Thompson kicked to level the scores at 3-3 after just 6 minutes.
Worryingly for Bangor, the Dee back line were working well together and finding gaps through the centre of play. With 16 minutes gone, the Dee continued to press forward having once again broken through the Bangor line. Some slick passing from right to left found the Dee winger who ran in to score the first try of the day in the left hand corner and, with the conversion missed, re-take the lead by 3-8.
Having let the earlier game at Donaldson Park get too far away from them, Bangor knew that a quick response was needed. Most of the following play was in the Donaghadee twenty two, with Bangor patiently building their attacking platform. Although several waves were repelled by a stubborn Dee defence, persistence finally paid off when Andrew Jackson was driven over the line to score and level the scores once again.
Another successful penalty, this time by Neil Cuthbertson, put Bangor narrowly in front by 11-8 as the first half drew to a close.
One often wonders what magic words (or otherwise) are conjured up in the team huddle at half time. It may sound simple, but when play resumes Bangor appear to have identified the problems of the first half, and put together a plan to correct these in the second. As the Dee re-started the game, it is unlikely that their half time talk prepared them for what was to come.
Having immediately raised the tempo, an early Bangor attack was halted by the Dee centre killing the ball, and earning a yellow card as a result. From the penalty and subsequent line-out that followed, the well-proven ‘catch and drive’ was put to good effect, with Jamie Clegg getting the ball down in the right hand corner. The kick was missed, making the score 16-8.
At this early stage in the second half, the game was still wide open. Donaghadee’s big forwards worked hard in both the set pieces and rucks, but the positional kicking was not always as effective. On one such occasion, the high ball was safely taken in the Bangor twenty two by Richard Corbett who brought play infield before passing to Jason Morgan in the centre. Having then split the Dee back line with a great injection of pace, Morgan passed to full back Josh Devitt who had the simplest of runs to score under the posts. With Cuthbertson adding the extras, Bangor’s lead had stretched to 23-8.
It took just another 3 minutes to add a fourth try, and with it the bonus point. Once again, the move started deep in Bangor territory, with Mark Widdowson jinking his way towards the 10 metre line. Although well tackled, he managed to off-load to Morgan who advanced the move towards the Dee twenty two. Although Morgan’s path to the line was blocked, he made a well-timed pass outside to Curtis Stewart who came steaming up the left wing to score. The conversion was missed, but in the space of 10 minutes, Bangor had secured the bonus point and taken complete control as their lead was now 28-8.
As some Dee heads started to drop, and with a quarter of the game remaining, Bangor now went for the jugular. Another good combination of ball-handling and support play saw Morgan rewarded for his hard work, gathering a pop pass by Mike Weir to score under the posts. Jackson recorded his second try of the day 5 minutes later, rounding off a great move started by Ricky Armstrong, and then powerfully taken on by James Henly, before rounding the last defender to score. A further 5 minutes elapsed before Morgan got his second try, courtesy of an excellent run down the left wing by prop Phil Whyte. The rout was completed by Devitt who intercepted a loose Dee pass in his own twenty two before running the length of the pitch to top off a sparkling performance. With Cuthbertson converting all these tries, the final score had leapt to a comprehensive 56-8 victory.
This was another great Bangor performance that completely justified the final result. For the Dee, this may just have been a game too far in such a short period. However, on current form, Bangor have shown themselves to be a force to contend with, and with just 2 more league games remaining, will want to maintain this form and finish hard on Portadown’s heels. For Donaghadee’s part, their recent run of good results has placed them safely in the middle of the table, and their focus now will be on a testing Towns Cup semi-final at Ballynahinch. It would be fair to say that despite our close rivalry, we at Bangor wish them every success.

The Persistence of Loss - Inhibition
This is a series I am working on titled "The Persistence of Loss." I aim to capture the pieces of us that we lose along the way.

Every time I try one of these I do something different. So I thought that this would be a great picture for my 365 challenge. See my bad photoshop skills the best I could do. Any Suggestions??
This is the result of about 150 tosses, got 6 good splashes I like this one the best. I think my Persistence paid off here :)
At this time of year the sun sets towards the end of the pier in Southport. I had tried a few nights earlier but was thwarted by a low cloud bank about 20 minutes before sunset ... so headed out tonight and had a little more success, although the sun was setting a little more northerly than I'd hoped.
Never mind, maybe I'll try again in about 3 months.
Cheers for dropping by.

at least an hour of trying lighting and my tripod (finally) thank goodness for good friends teaching me to use it lol Also Im not sure if flickr will consider me safe anymore for this photo, but its intent is art and practice.
Along the Sitges promenade, rows of makeshift stalls line the pavement — colourful spreads of T-shirts, handbags, and trainers laid out under the Mediterranean sun. Business may be slow, but the determination of these traders never wavers; each shirt neatly folded, each hour a quiet testament to endurance and hope.
