The Government Clock

9-16-14 Acrylic on 16"x20" canvas board
The 18th century clock from Liege Belgium that has been in my wife's family since the mid 18th century sits outside my studio which gives me the inspiration for putting clocks in my paintings.
This old clock constantly breaks always needing repairs but has an expensive internal automatic clock face replacement mechanism. The old clock is also equipped with a flame thrower, cannon, and nuclear war head heat seeking missiles.
