Sowing Seeds with Father Time

Sowing Seeds with Father Time

“Sowing Seeds with Father Time” is a dreamlike, pastel-hued allegory where myth and labor intertwine on a sun-warmed shore. Three elongated figures (part human, part silhouette) move in rhythmic communion against a sherbet sky of peach and rose. At left, a crimson-robed sower arcs forward, arm sweeping in a wide, fluid gesture that releases unseen seeds into the wind. Kneeling in the center, a smaller green-clad child mirrors the motion, hands cupped in tender offering, while to the right, a towering, silver-haired Father Time leans on his scythe like a staff, its blade glinting as he surveys the ritual with quiet authority. Swirling ribbons of turquoise and lavender sky spiral overhead, echoing the waves that lap at their feet in undulating bands of mint and coral. Through its flattened planes and sinuous lines, the painting transforms the ancient act of planting into a timeless dance, where past, present, and future sow the same invisible harvest beneath an eternal, candy-colored dawn.
