Color Study: Brown.

On the Wings Cloth, brown seems unappealing to me. I've been resisting brown. Maybe, just maybe I should re-consider brown, look closer.  Of course, I resist collecting, which is a good thing. I have too much "stuff", but there remains the garden with lots of space. Sometimes things come together quite unintentionally.

The brown snails have been a pest, however, one day it occurred to me that their shells are striking. I do like spirals. Movement. A paradox, going towards the middle, the movement stops abruptly. Going out it unfurls.

So when I find an empty one now, I put it on the scale on the patio table outside the kitchen door with shells, a fossil rock and rusty metal. As a collection, the spirals are mesmerizing and the variety of browns is pleasing. This setup might be good as a still life, something to draw with the addition of a bit of watercolor. However, I'm thinking it would take more time than I really want to spend.
