I never understood the point in rendering a painting to death. Is that so strangers can stand around and point out that you rendered every hair in detail? The japanese were the great art masters. Hokusai etc..they give you the impression of the wave not the photo of the wave. Dali's genius lies in that his hyper detailed painting were simply "comments" on the idea of photographic images as opposed to being photographs themselves. While the abstract expressionists were slashing away like house painters on a wall, Dali was rebelling with hyper realism but hyper realism wrapped up in a surrealist skin so it still worked. Gardega is not Dali so he paints like gardega.
