Thirty Paintings in 30 Days- Day 16 Steampunk Time Clock

Steampunk Time Clock
watercolor on paper

This painting is done in watercolor on Stratmore Block paper.   The woman was drawn in pencil and then colors were washed into the dress.

I had seen this Victorian photo of a woman holding a fan and turned away from the viewer.   It made me thinking of time travel tunnels.  I wanted her to be the controller of her own destine.   This is the finished painting after adding the swirling time clock for effect.  

I added dry brush strokes in the yellow face of the clock to help make it look old.   The dry brushed gold on the outside along with the symbolic designs enhanced the cover plate of the time loop.  

I wonder if she is planing to enter a new time or returning to the Victorian age?   Floating in space she is ready for whatever she is preparing for.   Maybe a long lost love is returning to her.  

The Steampunk Challenge is halfway finished.  I am beginning the second half of this series.  All the paintings and drawing have been shared on my Facebook pages and Etsy account.   Many are already sold.    

Thanks for following along.  I have had fun creating these works of art.   I hope you have fun enjoying them and sharing on social media.
