A long shadow appears as a man runs across the sand dunes, at the end of the day. This art collection portrays the buried dreams of famous and forgotten people. The sands of time are sliding through an hourglass, each grain of sand representing a precious moment that can never be retrieved — only remembered.

A long shadow appears …

More images will be added to the Sands of Time Gallery as time allows. Some of the portraits are of anonymous and forgotten people. Others are of famous people. I have already created digital artwork about historical political figures such as George Washington, Ben Franklin, and Abe Lincoln. Other interesting new art pieces will portray movie and music stars, such as Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Mick Jagger.

Ben Franklin Revealed

What other famous historical figures should I work on? Let me know in the comments.
