The Difference Is Time Invested – Hand Painted Motivational Hourglass Wall Art 55x28inch

For executive offices and founder teams we can build this piece around your own line and your own timeline — the milestones of your company rather than the ones shown here. Colours and logo follow your brand guidelines.

An hourglass stands on a dark ground, warmly lit. The lettering reads THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DREAMS AND REALITY IS TIME INVESTED. Along the lower edge runs a timeline: DAY 1 THE DECISION, DAY 30 THE HABIT, DAY 100 THE CHANGE, DAY 365 THE TRANSFORMATION, BEYOND THE LEGACY. That makes the piece less a slogan than a reminder that only one quantity sits between intention and result. The dark ground is painted in many layers until it gains depth; the glass body is built as relief with a hand-set highlight, the falling sand as fine texture.

It is most often hung in executive offices, founder teams and long-term planning rooms.

Is this artwork printed or painted?
