He awoke from a dream to find him self not where he laid his head that night. He sits up in the parking lot. He roll's his eyes and lays back again. He watch's as the sun rise's behind the Home Depot. Then dusting off His Favorite band Rush t shirt, he begins his two block walk home to are house.
The best thing about my brother is that he seemed not botherd by this every other Week routine.
The painting of Les Elephants by Salvador Dali reminds me allot about my brother.
Elephants are big, slow and fat. Wait I am not saying my brother is big, slow, and fat, He was when we where kids.
Salvodor Dali, paints place's that are with out limits, with out rules, with out kids that would mock my brother and his plumpness, that gave the Anxiety that cause him to sleep walk.
I got a call at 4 am last summer from my brother. He told me how for the first time in about 10 years he sleep walked. He was now stranded on a north side of Chicago beach. I had to take the Bus up to him to give him fair money.
I arrived on the beach to find my brother in his pajamas, and no shoes. In about a month from that moment his Wife will give birth to his son.
As we sat there watching the sun rise. I asked my brother how he got here?
He just said "I was taken here"
This painting takes us there too.
Interesting personal take on reviewing a painting
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this sounds very egocentric, but I would be more than happy to correct the minor errors in your reviews that are taking away from your otherwise unique and interesting writing.

This is one of my favorite paintings, and i like how you chose to describe your own experience- you gave the reader something to relate to.
ReplyDeleteCool review. I liked how the end really brought the attention back to the painting and the previous writing seemed to add more meaning to it.
