Just catching up with time.....or....is time just catching up with me...........
acrylic on canvas
Done to Lonnie Liston Smith’s music as usual got up about 3 am to paint….sleep? lol…what’s that?
Main song…”Time is moving on, better get with it or it’ll soon be gone”
one of my paintings from my never ending series on “TIME”, something i have been thinking about very much lately as it has proven to become shorter and shorter….how do we ever finish what we feel compelled to do in such little “time”?

Brilliant, once again my dear “distant” Friend… it would appear to be that “suffering” per se, does have some benefits … I get to see such inspired/motivational art such as this and yours in general. Hmmm what price?

Robert Dye
Time is the illusion, an institution of the mind, every cell in our being is continually dying and being reborn. The intrinsic activities and moments of our lives are timeless, and the most valuable. It is the external world, and human evolution that necessitates time. You don’t see a bird, deer, snake, or fish wearing a watch, or thinking, “hey, it’s lunchtime”. They live, every moment to it’s fullest digression. It’s funny how we are always waiting, “killing” time, when inevitably it is time that will kill us. You should review some of my pieces about time, I know you use this theme a lot in your paintings. I have a six canvas series entitled, “Mass, Energy, Space and Time” which relates the concept of timelessness, or the eternal now, in relation to pure energy. Hope you approve, take good care, as always, Peace-
helene ruiz replied
u said it perfectly….going now to view ur series !
lupen52
...fantastic as usual. You ARE my favorite on the site. I’ve always admired the usage and knowledge of colors.
helene ruiz replied
wow…thnx so much….what a nice comment….
MrPJ
Helene, this is beautiful. The clocks to me feel like planets colliding. Time and mortality hand in hand. :)
helene ruiz replied
thnx!
Romo

RosaCobos
Let´s see it both ways, helene…
And we could even not try to see it at all.
The shell of our past… is falling continously,
the reflection of the future…
based on a project…. alwasy running ahead of us…
I cannot…
recognize myself…
and starting to see it…
really funny…
Borderlines difused….
a giggling untertainty,
that is becoming a true companion.
Rosa (i love your fighting to cath the time… even you know it is a fancy)
helene ruiz replied
thnx so much rosa!

BLYTHART
I’ve just visited the Dali Museum in Barcelona (the smaller museum near the cathedal) .... you obviously share his liking for melting and warped clocks. I do hope you don’t share his excrement obsession though :) This is yet another example of your wonderful style of painting … yours is a very unique talent and it excites me to think that you have hundreds of paintings in your head yet to be painted.
helene ruiz replied
awe thnx dave….no i dont share all that(lol)....
BLYTHART
Dali was (or claimed to be) obsessed with excrement, ants and crutches. Some of his paintings display all three. Glad it’s just clocks with you :)
franckfuture51
yes, just my tastes. love it.
helene ruiz replied
thank u!
PPPhotoArt

Tony Ryan
Think that time is perhaps about to be seen in another perspective. I know on a personal level I am thinking more deeply about time than ever before. Also experiencing many surreal moments with time where it seems to be changing pace and at times standing still.
helene ruiz replied
yes…i have been working on a series regarding time …d ot think i will ever have the “time” to finish (smiles) thnx for looking and commenting!
