With time comes...... A self Portrait

The right time is when it happens… if it wasn’t the right time it wouldn’t happen, would it? lol. Very contemplative piece… Not torn apart, this time… oh, well, won’t analyze you ;-) Nice meeting your in close-up, my friend.

stunning work Ms. H!!! luv it!!

Very cool Helene. I love the owl—and your expression…

When you are doing such as this with your life, others should be happy to wait.

yup i did thnx!!~

I find time equals change equals the unknow,scary and exciting…......I love your work!!!make me think …

Damn….the clocks even in the eyes….and THE OWL!!! Tell us like it IS!!!
Confusion at least stirs more than apathy?
And just how long has this holding our breath been going on?
Helene, you slay me….this is your usual brilliance!!!!
Thank you!
XOXOX

There are hundreds of stories behind this image, and particularly, behind those expressive eyes. Thanks again for sharing your universe.

Waiting for…..? What?

Well I used to be a slave of time, then there was a time I had too much, now i go on and so does time , so maybe I ve arrived at the right time. Anyway nice portrait depicting yr sentiments so well.
hoping you are as well as you can be Paul :))))))))))))))

The time was right to paint this self portrait. It’s fabulous, esp love the clocks in your eyes.

I’m always running late too Helen I don’t even own a watch or a clock, great self portrait.

Hope I’m not being corney, but anyway – time doesn’t exist and all we have is now. And damn those people who are prompt. They need to get a life!

Love what you’ve done here, especially showing an unhappy/uncomfortable look on your face!
Time is a manmade thing, and I believe as an artist, we don’t conform to the constraints made by man – we push the boundaries and show a wider perspective…..

Stunning fantastic work. I love the idea of all the clocks. One of my Gran’s hated them – constantly ticking away the seconds…...

helene, this is probably my favorite so far! love the owl…all the clocks and always late…i stopped wearing a watch a few years ago and that actually helps me get to places on time LOL. time is a bastard slavedriver, that is certain…well done.

Fantastic:)

A fanstastic strong and powerful face!

Fantastic self expression my friend, your work is so awesome!
Peace,
Leah♥

Congratulations, Helene. A fascinating portrait. Love the symbolism.

Helene, Absolutely awesome!!!! Hugs, Sally xxxxoooo

If you worry about time, you will never have enough time..energy flows where attention goes. Enjoyed viewing this one Helene :) ~Anni

vun der! bar helene, could not have more angst and love at the same time and well done in profesional feel- no the seascape is acrylic i used to only do seascapes in oil but my apt would smell too much if i use oil i miss the three dimentional affect of oil

wild woman!!

timeless

Fantastic work helene!

wow Helene …I have complenting the right time …then this came up ..a sign? :)

just beautiful as alwaysxxx

I’m always short of time. Beautifully painted work.

You are so amazing.. i did a bit on time last few.. but nothing like this.. your work drives me into a frenzy!! I will post.. what a trip!

its another really meaningful pice of arf from you Helene. Love what you have done with the clock faces. x

love your self portrait and the clocks in your eyes!

Helene.. I ran out the doorr.. can’t believe I did not comment.. I think it is a bit cool when there is a bit of sync in creation.. this is wonderful.. I made a time piece too!

If Rosa were commenting she would no doubt point out that time was on your shoulders.
The weight of time. The pressures of time. You are always late because you spend most of your time in the right hemisphere which has no concept of time, however it is this hemisphere that is the artist. The left hemisphere understand time but people who live in this hemisphere are seldom artist. The constant tick tick must get this done no kills creative thought. This is why it is often harder to work as a graphic artist than a fine artist. The graphic artist is governed by strict deadlines, he must be creative on que!
I never wear a watch I like to relie on my internal clock

Wonderful creation I forgot to add!

Awsome!

Clearly amazing

Really interesting creation Helene. You are so right. We are all so controlled by time. I know in myself I so easily fall into rush. Even writing this reply to you I can feel my fingers typing way too fast. It is like I need to get from one to the next. However far better for me to really concentrate on this reply and give it all the time it warrants. If we really meditated on each person and activity equally I believe time would become less of a pressure.

Wow this is very powerful, and on time!

Brilliant in concept and execution. Bravo!

This piece speaks to me so much, I absolutely love it. Thank you for creating it!

‘But at my back I always hear
Time’s winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.’

Hi dear,
In my kitchen clock it is about 10:30…
In my soul…no use to follow any rule….
sometimes i feel aged as neons,
other time…new born…even noborn.
There is not right time..
Yes….Iknow all about “For everything .. turn….turn…”
and that of “A time to sow…..a time to reap…” and so far.
but that does not mean that the time is used as a toothpaste…bound to be brushed on the teeth after meals and not before.
Life is cyclic…organically and cosmologically, for cycles are a way of the Eternal. So I understand the use of breathing in meditation, or whatever…a conscious breathing i order to get out of the “time mirage” and be “here and now”.....just then things will fit properly into their own energy.
By the way ….your face..(in case..and I think so..it is) is showing rage….it seems that may be someon promised you “time”....in your own sufferings…advicing you that time will heal your wounds. And now your eyes…see those clocks quite mocking your expectancies.May be painting your portrait, after having some moments of “meditating” or “out of time” consciousness..woul make you paint yourself with another expression.And mind me….I love very much this one….it has what in spanish we call “mala leche”.. (may be you do not need to translate….)
Have a hug dear helene.
Rosa

OH how unique is this!!! Absolutely fantastic artwork helene!!!

All your work is soooo good. I keep looking at more and more of your pieces and am more and more impressed :-)....Bravo Helene !!!

your work is great

You’re never too late when you live in tune with your own unique time …
You are always on time when you listen to that clock. There is no coincidence, no arriving too late, we arrive when we are destined to when we listen to our heart.
This is beautiful work!!! Congratulations on the feature!

the Freida look love it the soul of the piece in your eyes is a story in its I am sure, we as artists must, can and will endure what needs to be , to create our art great piece beauitful style young lady

excellent!

Alot of people see Death as a bad thing and I can see why that would be! But to me it is the time when we can but the clocks away and visit every second that was wasted in life! I draw from you Helene a great presence for you create the perfect moments with your art! Bravo!!!...)o(

bravissima! your art is amazing! so bold, so powerful and intense! this self portrait is wonderful!

i just saw your writing at the EMI group… it dragged me into the feeling. powerful words. there was a comment there… i could not ost any, it’s closed for comments, but if i could, i wouldn’t have said it better than Raymond Antonio: “you also paint with words”.... and i add: you amazingly say with paint. bravissima!

you are so frieken huggable even with those freaky eyes!!!!! love your rambling too . another wow here..

I just love this one – And remember – there is only NOW – I so often must remind myself of this – of what time really is. You are an amazing artist Helene. I am finding myself coming back to your page again and again!

remarkably intense are your portraits, very moving and for sure food for thought, i admire greatly, gallo
