> Check out this super cool painting I stumbled across that fuses 2 of the most famous paintings of all time, the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci and a starry night by Vincent van Gogh. The artist, Adam Strange, even manages to include the surrealist by titling the painting "the persistence of memory." That's the painting by Salvador Dali of the melting clocks in the desert. It even seems like Strange's interpretation has more to do with the persistency of memory than Dali's. After taking 3 consecutive semesters of art history at UCLA I can totally relate to this painting. Soon all of art history seems to just melt together. Thank god for Christmas break!

That's very nice, but a little too digital for me.
The artist has used the Hollywood formula which is to take proven elements and combine them to produce a new work. It works for movies, so why not paintings.
