Today I'm excited to share with you my new acrylic painting of Vrboska village on island Hvar. The title of the painting is: Lost in Time.

The painting itself took me about 100 hours to finish. It was a very labour intensive piece and I worked on it for two weeks every day. I don't know how well you can see it, but I spent hours working on the tiny details, making sure I captured every shadow. I used a photograph taken by my husband as a reference, but I made some small changes. For example, I didn't include myself in the composition because I wanted the attention on the fishing boats. The painting was a challenge. It required a lot of work and it caused me joint pain. I think it was worth it in the end because when I look at it, I really feel as if I was there in Vrboska.
