I had a turtle named Oddle... 
Oddle and Temperance might show up in a children's book at some point...

Oh my god that's the best name ever! ;_______;
Temperance and Oddle... that seriously sounds like a children's book

A turtle and a goldfish with those names might get up to some cool adventures-- and I've always wanted to do something with a Beauregard the Elephant...

So, Temperance would be this young goldfish in New York, and Oddle would be this old turtle in the midwest, and they'd be conspiring to rescue Beauregard the elephant from the zoo, maybe...

Circus is much better-- MUCH... and the traveling would facilitate the story much better... We'll have to start screwing around with this for real...

Such vibrant colors; the electrifying green that exaggerates his shock is also a sickly green that suggests horror at his realization of the passage of time. His stare lights the watch, emphasizing the importance he gives to time. His preoccupation shadows the existence of other things; he himself becomes a watchβ¦
But the glass is on the verge of shattering, perhaps to bring him back to realityβ¦and perhaps he is helpless under the power of time and is waiting for something to shatter his fixation?
Extraordinaryβ¦as spellbinding as time itself.

The same could be said for this painting.

It's modern world meet Edvard Munch
He's like another species from the early 90's show Alien Nation

I liked that movie-- especially when James Caan, as the cop in the movie, walks to his own front door, and you see that his lawn is hopelessly dead and dried up, while everyone else's is green and verdant-- it's just a really funny touch with no particular attention drawn to it...

Aye; the details make all the difference...

This kind of reminds me of Kip from Futurama, and what he might look like in a more realistic world.
I like how dreamy this looks, and the light shining off the pocket watch in both places looks nice.
Also, I adore the white sea outside the window and the goldfish. Or perhaps they're flying goldfish in a pink sky.

Thanks, cookie-- I painted this some 12 years ago, and it's notion of the terror of the passage of time has only gotten worse for me...

Aww, time has a lot of wonderful benefits, though.
You're welcome.
