The full editing timelapse for dance of the hours is now complete! 💚🪶🩵 My YouTube channel has been inactive for a long time, so it would mean the world to me if you would show it some love by clicking and subscribing. 🙏🏻 I’m so excited to share new work, so I hope you’ll give it a view! (Stick around for my new updated logo at the end!)

Note: I unfortunately could not find a full 9:36 minute version of “Dance of the Hours” for purchase or royalty free, so I couldn’t use it. Instead, enjoy some “Beautiful Blue Danube” while you watch. 🎶

First shot in 2019.Reviewed again in 2024 with a test of new Adob...

I am so proud of this piece. It has been sitting in my hard drive since 2019. It had another moment in 2024 when Gen AI was introduced. It then sat on the hard drive until June of 2026, when I took it out of the box, stripped the AI out of my file, and started over with my own photography completely. Every bubble, feather, toe, hair, and turtle in this image was shot by me, and this piece is FINALLY done. And with that, I am so proud to present to you “Dance of the Hours.” 🩰 🪶
Stay tuned for more content! I’m making a documentary episode for my “100 days of Art Girl Summer” where I go behind the scenes and talk in depth about creating this piece, taking the AI out, my personal thoughts on AI in art, and the story behind the dream that brought me this image. I also just completed a full timelapse process of this piece which will be posted on YouTube! I’ve been so beautifully busy this summer and I can’t wait to share it all with you. 🩵

This is right on point for the newest image I’m about to release! 😆 I’ve been working behind the scenes to finish a new piece of dream art, and this is spot 👏🏻 on 👏🏻 for imagery and theme. I can’t wait to edit the full process together for everyone to see. It will make sense then. 😂 Watch me get “left behind” soon when I release my latest image.
