A Tale of Time

Time is a beautiful feeling
Like the quiet touch of a hand in yours …
Love doesn’t rush; it learns the art of waiting
Do we know how to cherish what grows slowly?

I’ve always wanted to paint Big Ben right in front of the famous structure itself, but I could only do so from indoors since it was too chilly outside at that time!

Sometimes, you plan for things, and other times you don’t dream of them at all, yet something occurs, beautifully or unexpectedly; this is often how life unfolds, as we aren’t the ultimate planners, but rather guided by a greater force, The One. Outside, the silhouette of Big Ben looms against the sky, a reminder that time keeps moving, regardless of our own intentions. As you keep following your passions at your own pace, what surprises do you think might come your way?

For me, everyday brings a lot of surprises and excitement to me. Well, it was another solo adventure, strolling across Westminster Bridge, taking in the view of Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, and the London Eye. Tourists buzzed around, snapping pictures and chatting excitedly in different languages, while street performers played music that drifted through the air. I loved watching families and friends gather, pointing at landmarks and sharing stories as they walked. The highlight was jumping in front of the London Eye, its massive wheel turning slowly above me, capturing the thrill of the moment in a photo. There was something magnetic about the Thames River too, its steady flow calming me as I leaned over the bridge, feeling connected to the history and rhythm of the city

As the day drew to a close, I wandered into a riverside garden, where the vibrant flowers stood in serene contrast to the bustle of the city, offering a quiet balm to my eyes. The chilly air nipped at my skin, but a warm cup of coconut-flavored mocha melted the cold away, its rich sweetness a perfect comfort. It wasn’t just a drink; it was a remedy, calming me from the inside out. With the Thames whispering nearby, I found solace in my painting, each brushstroke a therapy of its own. The moment felt like a quiet triumph, a celebration of solitude and creativity

Time is a beautiful feeling and I hope to hold on to this season with one of my LittlePainting, here and now …

Now, tell me what you think about
‘Time’ as Now and Here ….

I want you now

Another of my favorite songs to walk with is “I Want You Now” by Loving Caliber. It conveys a deep longing for someone, with gentle vocals and a smooth rhythm that evoke a sense of closeness and warmth

    1. Hello Sweetheart Stefie
      How’re you?

      I’m so glad you liked them! Big Ben really does have that magical, timeless presence. It’s always amazing to see it lit up at night, towering over the city like that. Glad I could share that moment with you!

  3. Your painting of Big Ben is wonderful. I like how you surrounded it with the tree branches and leaves so the sky is blocked out and the focus is on the clock face and the importance of time.

    I was also amazed by all the roses in your video. I imagine seeing them all in person was fantastic. All that soft color under the gray sky should inspire you to create another painting! 🙂

    1. Richard, I’m really glad you noticed the focus on time in the Big Ben painting. I wanted it to feel both framed by nature and connected to something bigger

      And yes, the roses were incredible in person! Seeing that burst of color against the grey sky was so inspiring, another painting might just be on the way
      I hope …

      Thank you so much for your thoughtful words always! Your comments enrich my verses …
