Wow! What a great job you've done here; I can't imagine all the work involved. It's so moody and evocative. The colors work together and add to the mysterious nature of the piece. Well composed and lit. Wonderful.

Comment from Frances Jean
A cleverly put together piece of art. Before I even read the words to the song, I could imagine the central figure reflecting on her past and moving forward to the future. The clock and background medium were synonimous of time moving as through water. Good colour and clarity. Frances

Comment from Photography byTrixie
Like the painting...just do not like the long-winded verse that goes with it. Think the viewer should be able to see the title and interpret it themselves.. Like the softness, colors and real items in contrast to dreamlike setting.

Thank you for your kind review. It's very true the song is long. I agree with you that the viewer should be able to understand a picture without comment. But in this case the picture was made for the song so II had to give the reference to the author. From my point of view it would be unethical not to do so. I was thinking about to shorten the song but couldn't come up with a conclusion what wouldn't hurt the intention of the writer.

Comment from Declan
I normally don't review artwork as I know absolutely nothing about it, however, I found this piece especially intriging. I like the colours and the 'organised chaos'. I really enjoyed viewing this - thanks for sharing :o)

Thank you for your encouraging review.
I think you are qualified to review anything you want. You don't need an art education, You have eyes to see. Art is not made for an elite, at least it shouldn't. Art is for everyone.
By the way, I assume you are a photographer and review photographs? You are? In this case you are an artist. Photography is art.

A good interpretation of time standing still. There s the clock caught at midnight . The memories are swimming around in the pool of time. This is how i see your image. Well done
