"Watcher and Keeper were part of a group show curated by June LeeLoo called L'heure bleue/The Blue Hour. June gave a rough guide about the characteristics and meaning behind it saying 'The Blue Hour is the time between day and night when the sky is filled almost entirely of a pale blue darker than the blue sky of the day. In summer, this time is deemed the best to smell the fragrance of flowers. It's also the few minutes when day birds are not yet awake and night birds already asleep...a few minutes or real silence.'
The term is also used to refer to the years in Paris before the First World War. I wanted to give it a Parisian vintage feel while incorporating the elements of time (the watch), sound (the Birds), fragrance (the flowers) and color which surround this hour.
For each piece I did a lot of rough sketches toying about with ideas and layouts. Then developed pencil drawings and did a few color mock-ups in Photoshop. Then I put the drawing on canvas and started painting." - Anarkitty
