Take a Word "Time"

As many of you will have noticed, there is a new challenge blog run by the clever ladies of the Three Muses.
Every week they will give us a challenge to create something with a word prompt. This week is it is "Time"

Time is something I never seem to have enough of (like many people I'm guessing). I decided to create a tribute to the Goddess of Time, asking her to grant me more. The piece did not work out at all how I had wanted it, but at least I had fun painting...

  5. I think it's a lovely painting Astrid...but of course if you are like me...never satified...the picture on my paper is never as good as the one in my head...I digress...this is a wonderful representation of that ever demanding Goddess of Time...well done!

  22. Astrid, I love the idea of a Goddess of Time, couldn't we all do with one! I love your layering and painting and think she is quite a majestic Goddess. Bravo.

    Oh, by the way, I saw the grumpy Mona on Grannie Annie's blog and was so taken with it I asked if I might use it and she said yes.
