Wall Clock Antique c. 1938

This antique wall clock was drawn by Jordan E. and the time of its making is unknown. I love the precision of this piece; it's not just about rendering an object, it's about capturing a feeling, an atmosphere. I can imagine Jordan E. studying this clock, feeling its weight, tracing its lines with their eyes, and trying to understand how time is trapped in this wooden case. There's a deliberateness in the application of color, each stroke carefully placed to build up depth and volume. It reminds me of the challenge all artists face: how to make something solid and real out of fleeting moments of inspiration. In a way, all paintings are time machines, transporting us back to the moment of their creation, and inviting us to contemplate the mystery of existence. Artists like Jordan E. remind us to see the beauty in the everyday, to find wonder in the passage of time, and to embrace the endless possibilities of creative expression.
