Tyrannical Time

Time is a ferocious beast that devours my dreams on a daily basis.

I'm possibly the slowest painter in the universe. That's one reason I usually work small. I have so many ideas, so much I want to do, but there's always a huge backlog. I started this project to try to speed up my process, & to some extent it has, but never enough to keep up. Once I start painting, I go into a sort of trance, & next thing I know, hours have passed. Sigh...

This one was actually a quickie though, because it's so tiny! Acrylic on an old watch face, ~1 3/4" in diameter.

    This is SO cool! Re: your trance--I know exactly what you are talking about. I call it being in my right-brain ZONE. Sometimes I don't even remember having done the work! I just LOVE this!!

    Oh, lovely. Now I need a watch with a creature like this, to remind me to get on with it - because there is someone eating seconds right behind me.

    Thanks, folks! Apparently the time monster is constantly chasing after everybody. You'd think at least one of us could give him the slip!
