2000 years ago, the Greeks had a way of understanding and talking about time that we have all but lost. To them time was not just a static thing. A past event could have impact and effect on a current event and move into the future. While we understand these concepts when they are explained, the beauty of Koine Greek, is that these thoughts, as well as many others, could be contained within one word. For us, to convey the same ideas, takes many words, many sentences and even in some cases paragraphs.
This image takes the concept of time and measurement, and treats them as equals. It challenges us to consider the meaning of time and its measurement, for our lives and our world.
The colors are beautiful in this, but I feel that you almost loose the measurement device since it's the same color as the background. I love the idea behind this, since time is such a hard thing to measure. There are those moments that last forever, and then the ones that can never go by soon enough.
Nice work!

Keeping detail in all of the parts was a significant challenge. The light ratios are very high and I finally adjusted the contrast on the camera, as there was no way I could reduce it further with the lighting (The face of the watch is just too bright compared to the other objects).
So exposure was a compromise, and was DRIVEN into the one I used toretain detail in the watch and some in the shadows. I think though, if you look at it at th elargest size, you will see that the detail is there. I have made a framed copy, that even inthis medium, without the advantage of luminessence (like a monitor) the detail of the compass comes out nicely.
Personally, i liked the brown tones, because it reminded me of age, and the kinds of paintings that the rare masters did. Like mann, Millet Rembrant, Reni, or vermeer.....it has been a LOOK that I have been trying to achieve over the last while an dfor th most part, I think I have suceeded.
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P

I love watches but I certainly don't expect that everyone does. The watch I used was very old but it still works.
