Timeless Strings Denim Jacket

This painting, created by our 13-year-old daughter, is a deeply meaningful piece that reflects both imagination and perseverance. Submitted as her entry for a local community art event, it will be displayed in a community laneway — a space where stories and voices come together through creativity. The artwork blends the imagery of clocks, clouds, and a musician into a dreamlike scene. The figure strumming the guitar represents the power of music and art to transcend time. Each clock, with its Roman numerals and golden tones, symbolises the passing of hours and the constant rhythm of life. Yet amidst that flow of time, the act of creating — of playing music, of painting — feels timeless. What makes this piece so special is not only the concept but also the process. It is one of her first large-scale submissions, crafted with bold strokes, layered textures, and an intentional play of light and shadow. For her, this painting is about courage — daring to share her vision publicly — and about community, because art, once displayed, belongs to everyone who experiences it. This is more than a painting; it’s a story of growth, expression, and the way creativity connects us all beyond the ticking of a clock.
