ntopaz-image-0 Here is a bit of my latest painting with digital oil added.

Here is more of the piece:

I've actually played with her face more and did some changes to her top from the last shared watercolour study:

This is why I often do a few studies before switching to digital oil.

It allows me to tweak things I might want to change about the piece before going into the final look.

When playing with my Singularity pieces I often think of Time.

In this way I often feel as if I am tapping into a future space that does not yet exist. It's a fun way to play with time and really, when doing creative work, TIME does seem to have a different feel and movement.

I've often sat down to just do a quick 20 minute sketch only to look up at my cold coffee three hours later.

I have also found Time odd between my IRL life and my Digital life.

To me TIME has always been a sort of false construct.

I mean humans have divided days into minutes and seconds (actually with the advent of the train) and days into months and years. Yet, to me, Time has always had an elusive quality about it.

In many ways Time to me seems like a bit of a trickster.

She can lure you in with the comfort of days on calendars and tick tick tocking away numbers on a screen or round the circle of the clock; but, it is in many ways, made up.

I have had many times in my life when I've felt TIME to be elastic.

Memories will flood into my brain with a scent I've not smelled since I was 5 and it's like a time machine jump of standing in the same spot only years later, but with the full recall of that moment 'back in time'.

Now, what am I on about?

Internet and Digital Life Time seems to be a different animal to Real Life Time.

Case in point was that I've been off the internet more over the past few days and thus have been 'out' of the Steemit village as well. Yet, when I hop back into it, seemingly only a day or two passing, I often feel like I've wandered into a new Time stream and weeks have passed.

I've Rip VanWinkled myself into the center of town wondering why is everything so different.

And truly a few days of Steemit can seem like a long time when I see my feed and some of my favourite posters just going on with their life in leaps and bounds.

I suppose that is part of the perception of having 'friends' that are met in a digital space in a time constraint that doesn't fit into day and night in the conventional sense.

Who can say? Or possibly I'm just rambling away, as is my want. But, I truly do feel TIME very differently in my ONLINE life then I do in my waking IRL life.

And it would be a lie to say that we are not living an increasing greater portion of our lives in the ONLINE world and thus that Timeframe.

Anyhoo, my long-winded point is that I FEEL Time differntly living online then I do in normal 3d life.

Do you ever feel this way?
Does Time take on a new perception when you are plugged in then when you are not looking at a screen?
Do you think we will ever tell time or express it differently as we move more and more into our Digital Lives?
