Trevor, gotta be honest, this version feels transitional to me.  The 
single, more realistic tub juxtaposed with parched soil had a stark 
magic-realist, mystery for me.  The introduction of a further arbitrary 
element, (color inventory and random arrangement,) seems more like 
something borrowed from Gilles Tran, (I keep thinking Cadillacs.) 
Somewhat like a G Tran scene it fills the mind with alternative 
possibilities.  Tubs in mysterious monolithic arrangements, or 
progessively sinking into the soil, colored tubs with colored splashes 
underneath, tubs that progress from opaque to transparent, from ice to 
steam,...

The stasis of the simpler version resisted such mental super-revving. 
Here perhaps you are more involved with the catapulting progression of a 
dream image.  While Dali was able to have it both ways, the fluidity of 
dream images made crystaline, this image begs for completion.
