how fast time flies

i belatedly learned about the 'world watercolor month' from the arts being posted by our good friend jacqueline @jacqbb and she invited me to join her. with great reluctance, i decided i will "join" her but only occasionally, as and when some artistic moments hit my brain (which is not very often, mind). yes, i'm a sucker for punishment. why? because there are the 3 weekly challenges i am foolishly undertaking (of which i am not shockingly rather behind in posting) and other challenges i participate in. but i suppose, in doing this watercolour challenge, albeit, sporadically, i am hoping i would learn a thing or two from my fellow artsies and hopefully improve on this art thing.

i looked at the prompts, jacqueline, and they aren't easy! although my imagination can run spectacularly wild sometimes, my physical capability, a.k.a. drawing and painting, does not translate anywhere near in reality. but i could be stubborn like a mule (why are they stubborn anyway, i thought they are the most docile animal) and at this late stage in my life, the only challenges i'd like to take on require sitting down as i have given up pursuits that require me to exert too much effort. 😜 plus i love to do things just to provoke those around me (artsy gang, that's called a dare!) which i have been told i am almost always successful at doing. almost, but not quite.

so, thinking 'fast' on my feet (only this time), this is my interpretation of "fast" -- the sands of time falling fast, like my so-called sanity.

used metallic watercolour, which disappointingly does not show well in photograph.
May we have the link??

@summerfield One little point Vikki, it takes only two extra lines to draw….. the top and the bottom need to be connected otherwise they flow…….

This is really lovely Vikki. I like the catch lights on the hour glass.
I like Jackie's idea of doing small pics on one page. It was something I had pondered doing too. Doubt that I'll manage all of the prompts though

This does a remarkable job of fulfilling that challenge I think. I especially like the texture from the highlights of the glass.

A great little painting it will be quite lovely in the metallic paint I imagine. Look forward to seeing more.

Impressive that you take on so many challenges. I read through all your text reading 'watermelon' month. I have no idea why but thought it to be the most strange of challenges. What am I like? I am sure you will continue to put brush to paper and come up with some more creative responses to the challenge like this one and I look forward to seeing them.

As always, your images are only part of your art. Your words add so much.
