It Takes Time

First attempted in 2015 in acrylic, too complex at the time, it was revisited in 2025 in oil pastel once the skills caught up: a butterfly emerging around an hourglass, taking its own time to become what it was meant to be. The decade between attempts is as much a part of the piece as the image itself. It's a painting about patience that required patience to finish.
