Brown is not really a favourite colour of mine, tho' I guess it IS sort of 'summery'. Tanned skin, dry grasses, iced tea.... there are many summer images come to mind.
Kristin has chosen brown for this week's challenge so I'll kick off with, not my own work, a painting I have on my wall by Aboriginal artist
Yondee just to get myself into a brown mood.

Then perhaps a photo from my morning walk...

| Scribbly Gum bark |
... and while I'm at it, perhaps an altered image. I love Photoshop!

| Leaves |
Have managed to get a little pink and green in there.
Of course wooden beads are gorgeous too... perhaps with a fragment of shell attached?
This is an asymmetrical necklace, with white and brown wooden beads. The largest white bead is actually polished bone.
I am so looking forward to next week... RED! Who doesn't love that colour?
Wow some beautiful brown pieces to look at and you say you are not keen on brown, just imagine how many pieces you will have to show in red....lol Annette x

ReplyDeleteOOO!!! love the photoshopped image and the gum bark! i thought that was a painting until i read the fine prints :) i'll be entering this week too ... since i have some brown stuff made :) hehehe ...
ReplyDeletebtw ... love your new look!
I love the bark picture too! And your necklace is a beautiful, bold piece that is at the same time edgy and elegant. Bravo, xo
ReplyDeleteJo, I'm so happy you linked into artsee bloggers - your work is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJM-I agree with others great bark shot and as LT says the photoshopped piece looks so abstract. B
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I don't know which one I like the best..they are all so beautiful Jo! you are soo talented :)
ReplyDeleteThese comments have made my day. If I can just get to the studio without being distracted by peripheral 'stuff' (housework?) I'll be off to a good start.
ReplyDeleteI love your interpretations! My fave is the gum bark! Hugs,Tee
ReplyDeleteLovely images! I used to feel the same way about boring brown but I'm now totally taken with all the different shades of brown.
