But  the height of the bench above is lower and I could not sit up right. The tour was inexpensive and their choices of stops were meant to sell you stuff.  They also include meals you went to the same location over a period of days and the food was unimpressive and would be polite. Spent a lot of time on a bus not seeing nothing from a horizontal position

These Salt fields exist  in the neighborhood right besides your house or across the street from a restaurant.  There existence predate all other development in the area.

The content was not suitable for children may be offensive to certain opinionated people without the ability to distinguish art from reality. Need to be warned that they might feel slightly uncomfortable. It is no longer used, but might be seeing a resurgence.

- [Face Drawings Range Frightening to Hilarious](https://artchrisdale.com/face-drawings-range-frightening-to-hilarious/): What a remarkable discovery you might find. Who knows what lies deep in your nasal cavity? Just a tasty bite, or perhaps you should flick it at one of your friends and rub it under the table, but if you were raised correctly, you would put it in a tissue and throw it away.
- [Birds Four On A Branch](https://artchrisdale.com/birds-four-on-a-branch/): Do not generally paint animal pictures before finding the subject dull.  But after painting for a while, one begins to lament the fact that nothing sells. So I thought I would paint something that was more to a pleasant matter that everybody could understand, so this was the result.  Somebody has it on their wall.
- [Fred Astaire Barkleys Broadway](https://artchrisdale.com/fred-astaire-barkleys-broadway/): Painted in high school, but then stopped at boarding school and University.  Started again after going back to University to finish up my degree, part of that was taking an art course. Was encouraged to start painting again.  The instructor gave me some paper and some black and white paint.  Morning in the attic before my daughter and wife woke up and painted. The fact that it was also black and white made the image much more appealing as for those of the only colors I have at the time and simplify the process of having to figure out what color gray is red.
- [Twist Body Amorphous Form](https://artchrisdale.com/twist-body-amorphous-form/): There is a body there within the folds of flesh.  The form is unfamiliar as it is bent in upon itself, disguising the original form.  If you look closely, you can begin to recognize slender body parts.  That combines into another form beyond this one.

- [Hesitant Ascending To Unknown](https://artchrisdale.com/hesitant-ascending-to-unknown/): Something desired but unsure.  A new experience or someone new for that experience.  A moment you're standing there turn your head thinking should I proceed.  But they wait quietly for your decision. Will you proceed up or down? Are my feelings justified?
- [Backyard With Tire Swing](https://artchrisdale.com/backyard-with-tire-swing/): The sky is blue, trees full of leaves, summer is in full swing and the tires swing.  Suspended from a branch that you always think might break, but it does not.  Taking turns at the beginning of the summer, but now the swinging sensation has lost its appeal, becoming a seat rather than an event.
- [Queue Even White Lineup](https://artchrisdale.com/queue-even-white-lineup/): Stand wait, slowly moving forward for something that should be given without question. Their power for what they perceive as a gift rather than a right, making you stand in line. Alone to make their point. What is required for survival? We should be grateful rather than just expect.
- [Pedestrian Scramble Hong Kong](https://artchrisdale.com/pedestrian-scramble-hong-kong/): So many places to go, so many directions. Unaware of the gazing eye, prurient interest.

Being so close to the subject, it took a long time to paint and still do not know if I like the result.
- [Madonna And Child Virgin Birth](https://artchrisdale.com/madonna-and-child-virgin-birth/): A child born pure, for there were no organs of sexuality involved.  No sin was involved in the creation of this infant.  A seed implanted by the “God”, the one and only.  Elevated to eventually be part of the heavens itself, but for now we're reflecting to us our evil sins.
- [Many Head Motion No Blur](https://artchrisdale.com/many-head-motion-no-blur/): There is no motion of a head swing, but you are frozen in an image.  The imagination of a blur on a static.  Seems contradictory, for why not show real motion.  But that's the idea, to show what is not here.  Only we have multiple heads, the idea was not achieved.
- [Laugh Deep With Child](https://artchrisdale.com/laugh-deep-with-child/): Part of the body is a machine of joy, every muscle jumps in the child.  Resisting is impossible, as if a disease is an infection, you begin to participate in the hilarity of it all.  Tears come to your eyes, and you continue to an exhausted satisfaction.

- [Whale Away in Painting](https://artchrisdale.com/whale-away-in-painting/): This image came out of the drawings for a children's book about a child and his friend the whale.   It was a fun drawing, though it deserved also to be painted to push its color potentials.  So it's just quite silly and absurd, which is why I drew it and why I thought children would enjoy it.
- [Steps Endless Ascent](https://artchrisdale.com/steps-endless-ascent/): Daily events, there is an end to the stairs, but not the monotony of the day.  There is no sense of satisfaction by completing one's task.  Accept our predicament and carry on.  Like Sisyphus pushing his rock only to have it rolled down and to be done again for eternity.  None of us are cursed by the God's so why the eternity.
- [Shallow Grave In Gray](https://artchrisdale.com/shallow-grave-in-gray/): Graves for the dead should not be strata.  Their body should be placed with meaning with devotion where all can remember and offer support.  Not to be strewn like garbage in a pit.  One who treats the dead in this way.  Hides responsibility and denies their complacency.

For some reason, people do not see these characteristics for the lies they hide behind.
- [Sword Swallowing Sideshow](https://artchrisdale.com/sword-swallowing-sideshow/): A trick that symbolizes the fear of a sharp object that is placed down what is considered the most tender part of one's body.  Clearly, this person is not concerned with choking on fish bone.  They control their natural urge, training themselves to resist their own resistance.  Defying what is natural to us all, creating all it is performance.

- [Stretch Body On Yellow](https://artchrisdale.com/stretch-body-on-yellow/): Stretching your body's imagined desire, your stratification pushed high into the air.  The possibilities of the one who was taking you to this height.  Can you fulfill this within yourself without the addition of the other?  But on your face we can see the quiet satisfaction and exaltation.
- [New Shoes Day](https://artchrisdale.com/new-shoes-day/): Not such a big deal now, but at some point and still in some places shoes are significant to the day you revive them.  Most often occurring when you are young, going through shoes quickly.  The ones you have become too small and maybe falling apart, having been secondhand.  In severe situations of poverty, the shoe's considered the realm of the wealthy.

- [The Last of Heather](https://artchrisdale.com/the-last-of-heather/): If portraits of seduction, soft is the lens and naive is the face.  Offering you a glimpse at what if you were fortunate enough to have a chance to caress.  But it is an image for all, not just for you, therefore the line may be long.  This is the desire that is important, not your result.
- [Short Film Heather](https://artchrisdale.com/short-film-heather/): Selfies in series of one after the other.  First you tried not to move, but it was impossible not to change expressions.   Rather than fight the fact that things always change.  Better to embrace.  So each photo now is an act itself, as every moment is never the same.
- [Heather One of Three](https://artchrisdale.com/heather-one-of-three/): Faded jeans, you are in your denim faze.

- [Aaron Swartz](https://artchrisdale.com/aaron-swartz/): Nothing is more clear than that this information should be free and was always meant to be.  Confining it behind the paywall is an unimaginable crime.  Such a simple way to break it out, a tiny part in a cupboard until they found out.  When you take from the rich even things they do not belong to them, they crucify you for exposing their truth.
- [USA Proud And True](https://artchrisdale.com/usa-proud-and-true/): Triumphant, she stands in her unwavering belief that she is perfect.  Like the flag, she holds as a member of the greatest country in the world.  There is no wavering from her commitment to this belief, for it is simply truth.  Like a true American reflection is never required for that is weakness.

Simply audience Other pathological need for affirmation of the weak person they are.

- [Massaging A Dead Horse](https://artchrisdale.com/massaging-a-dead-horse/): The image came out of what I see in galleries. There is a trend of the same kind of images being repeated. The idea of Beating A Dead Horse came to mind. After reflection, the idea of massaging seemed to express a point more precisely. The act of beating implies anger and frustration of being in a state of constant regurgitation of dead images. This is not the reaction but rather it is massaging which is even less effective.
- [Shield In Sun](https://artchrisdale.com/shield-in-sun/): Spent many summers in northern Ontario, in what is called the Laurentian Plateau. Swimming off the rock, and if you were brave, jumping. As summer moves slowly closer, remember the warmth of the sun on the rocks of the summer past.

- [Portrait in Ink 1](https://artchrisdale.com/portrait-in-ink-1/): Eyes down, looking away from the observer.  Is it shyness or lack of eye contact with this particular observer?  How can the portrait know who will look at it?  Safer to avoid contact all the time, then you are safe.  Even though this image is not all of yours.  It only represents the moment of someone else's concept of you.  This is something you may present all through your life.
- [Park Bench HK](https://artchrisdale.com/park-bench-hk/): Small Park Wan Chai, two strangers nap on a shared bench.   The park very size of a lot the size of a lot for a small building. Just off the main road, quiet in the hot, loud City.  Surrounded by large trees and even the occasional bird might sing, of course is no grass for too many people and park small.
- [Tree Trunk HK](https://artchrisdale.com/tree-trunk-hk/): The bark distracts from the figure in front similar colors for them both, but one has a more consistent pattern.  Not requiring long lines but only continuous short ones.

- [Naked Back HK](https://artchrisdale.com/naked-back-hk/): Sexy but not controversial, as we know the body is without clothes, but apparently the front is more seductive or perverse than the back. Must be told about the body from its posterior. The shape of its buttocks and the strength of its back, more of a consideration for a horse than a person. Much can be understood about the front potential beauty.
- [Backs Crowd Walking HK](https://artchrisdale.com/backs-crowd-walking-hk/): I frequently see older women walking slowly, as if standing still in the crowd of people around them. The rest of the world rushes past, but they are steadfast in their goal.  Not hindered by the speed or the others, they know where they are going and there is no rush. Not hindered by the speed or the others, they know where they are going and there is no rush. Having a purpose that is unrushed for the process of going is almost as important as the arrival.
- [Crowd Walking Forward HK](https://artchrisdale.com/crowd-walking-forward-hk/): The city is large and big sidewalks are full, pushing their way along the sidewalk but stopping for the cars. No one dares here but not obey the red light. Not like other cities where it is run by the crowds pushing from corner Into intersection to other corners. Regardless of what the lights desire. In New York, they are pushed into the streets as the intersections.  Vietnam there are no intersections, everybody just walks and people get out of each other's way.  China, nobody dares to cross at a red light.
- [Building Labour HK](https://artchrisdale.com/building-labour-hk/): Your body is tired from the day's work, or I'll let you rest and eat something for your lunch.  Only to go back to continue.  Hopefully at this moment of rest you will find the energy to rise and continue a day, or you will not get paid. There is a certain hopelessness to this person stuck and clearly a job that they have to do there is no pleasure to be found in this day. 
- [Hong Kong Ink Rice Paper](https://artchrisdale.com/hong-kong-ink-rice-paper/): In 2014 went to Asia to stay with my sister in Hong Kong and also travelled to the Philippines.  First time I travelled in many years and had never been to this part of the world.  Had been painting religiously before leaving. Was a little reluctant to leave as it would interrupt my work.  Took a drawing pad And phone camera with me. Later purchase some art supplies from the local shop.  Appropriate bought rice paper, ink, pigment for colouring and felt to protect the surface below. 
- [Big Head And Eyes](https://artchrisdale.com/big-head-and-eyes/): Not all creations require great thought, sometimes you just start doing the basic steps.  The face, it's not too hard, all the components are well known and understood.  So even if it is confusing, people will find some connection to it regardless of how disjointed it may be. So you can always rely on the face if you cannot think of anything to draw, for we all recognize it.
- [5 women’s faces](https://artchrisdale.com/5-womens-faces/): The image was of a young girl, but what was interesting about the face was the expression of time. A young face is flat without lines. They crept in overtime.
- [Face Big and Pink](https://artchrisdale.com/face-big-and-pink/): What more you say about this face other than its size and colour. Expression of blankness without any clear meaning. No insight into the goings-on of this mind shown by its exterior impression. Will have to guess the intensity or not even notice them at all. This face will not be passed by I noticed even though it says nothing at all for a simple size and color will bring attention for often that is all that is needed the visual event not the meaning.
- [Three With One Different](https://artchrisdale.com/three-with-one-different/): If 1 is bad and 2 is better, then 3 must be amazing.  Does this group represent anything of meeting apart from an attempt to be inclusive? They stand and differ from each other.  None seem to care or interested in the other, they are just there.  Only thing that matches is the color of their eyes. So close in proximity but no real relation is if the other were simply  a pimple on their bottom rather than a person just a slight irritation when they sit.
- [Two Heads, One Looking](https://artchrisdale.com/two-heads-one-looking/): You wonder about your friend, you've known them a long time, what are they thinking.  Clearly not about you.  For that idea would be rather arrogant.  But we're together, are they off someplace far away or is he here waiting for my question. You should feel honored that your friendship is to the place where just being with  is all that is needed for to be comfortable without words is it true relationship.
- [Are You Listening](https://artchrisdale.com/are-you-listening/): A lot of time has gone between us, but you wonder, do you hear me?  For both, the two of us are supposed to communicate, but there always seems to be this space.  The inability to truly understand.  No matter how close our bodies are, there is always a distance that cannot be breached. A loneliness that can ever be truly expressed for in the end we will never be one but always two separated by the nature of our existence.
- [Frida Kahlo Diego Rivera](https://artchrisdale.com/frida-kahlo-diego-rivera/): The third of four wives was Frida Kahlo, a volatile relationship until her death. His final marriage was to his agent.
- [Modern Dance Graham](https://artchrisdale.com/modern-dance-graham/): 1894 –  1991 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, father was known as an “alienist”, strict Presbyterians. Third-generation American of Irish descent. Graham's mother, from a comfortable life, was not one that encouraged dancing. An American modern dancer and choreographer, whose style, the Graham technique, reshaped American dance. First dancer to perform at the White House. Has a cultural ambassador receiving award of the US and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. 
- [Some Writer In Side Cover](https://artchrisdale.com/some-writer-in-side-cover/):  Image needed for another painting again search box find the inside cover and there they are.  Another smoking cigarette moustache. Seems to be popular with writers of a certain time.  Do not recall the title of the book, think the name had Leigh, for this was the same spelling as a person who owned it. The fact that it was also black and white made the image much more appealing as for those of the only colors I have at the time and simplify the process of having to figure out what color gray is red.
- [Death in Don Mills](https://artchrisdale.com/death-in-don-mills/): A book had never read by author Hugh Garner who did not know.  Was there when searching for someone to paint.  No convenient computer images relying on paper that laid around your home.   So a book owned by my child's mother laid there, appropriate for a portrait. The fact that it was also black and white made the image much more appealing as for those of the only colors I have at the time and simplify the process of having to figure out what color gray is red.
- [Wing of Red Velvet ](https://artchrisdale.com/wing-of-red-velvet/): Spread your velvet wide, capturing the air as you propel down from your depression. Unable to soar to Great Heights.  But will simply plummet with great beauty.  To the final resting place on the concrete ground that surrounded your perch. A decision made in haste as for the contemplation is easy but the final commitment done in an instant without thought. Regret Is always too late there is no retrospect for this decision.
- [By The Pool](https://artchrisdale.com/by-the-pool/): The light glint on walls around you.  When the sun reflects upon the water dominates the room more than the water itself. There is an ozone change to the air with so much water in a closed space. Sense of moisture in the air. All sound is muffled by this great watery pillow. Only light amplify in this room. Eyes overwhelmed by the refracting light not a surface is calm in this snowstorm of reflection light.
- [Traitor Are Shamed ](https://artchrisdale.com/traitor-are-shamed/): To survive, maybe you compromised, or you were young and fell in love with a handsome young man.  This man had power unlike all the others in town, but in the end he conquered your country and you.  But in the end, when he lost his power, he left you with even less power. Getting their revenge on the suffering they had gone through, they found you.
- [Dree Hemingway, Grandfather Ernest](https://artchrisdale.com/dree-hemingway-grandfather-ernest/): What's a legacy, a shadow of greatness, comes before you and covers your body for all your life.  Trying to distinguish yourself from the past of someone else.  But she's striving forward as if a genetic need to also be largely present in the world.  Carving out your little niche without the delusion and needs that you recognized in your family.
- [April Bent Face](https://artchrisdale.com/april-bent-face/): Everything twisted, following different directions from each other.  Confusing the proper shape of things causes discomfort.  Pulling in our attention for confusion requires effort.  Through distortion of reality, the mind engages to make straight for our own acceptance.

- [Short Animations By Artist Chris Dale](https://artchrisdale.com/short-animations-of-by-artist-chris-dale/): I have always been interested in animation. Having a large selection of static images in the form of my paintings that needed promotion could be accomplished both with short animations to show off my work. It is a slideshow. Animation is a series of image in sequence with a faster frame rate. They will likely do more, but they require an awful lot of work that is technical rather than intuitive. Not creating daily with Blender, forget what was learned and go back to the beginning. But as I write this, I think I might do something around guns, for the audio will be fun Bang Bang.
