The Canopy of Hours Drawing

A tree stands in quiet strength, its canopy ablaze with autumn leaves and woven with clocks and hourglasses—each one marking a different moment, a different rhythm. Time blooms here not in straight lines, but in circles and cycles, nestled among branches and memory.

This original ink and pigment illustration explores the passage of time through nature’s lens. Ornate clock faces and flowing hourglasses are embedded in the foliage, suggesting that every season holds its own story. The warm reds and browns evoke reflection and change, while the stippled trunk and monochrome ground preserve the stillness beneath.

The Canopy of Hours invites viewers to pause, reflect, and find meaning in the quiet turning of time. A perfect piece for collectors drawn to symbolism, mindfulness, and the poetry of visual storytelling.
