    i think i’ll start talking to Self. this conch shell…my kids
    could tell you…and they WOULD
    because it was one of the Crazy things i kept doing…trying to paint the wainscoating in the kitchen of their childhood with this color.
    it wasn’t exactly the PINK of it at all, but the Warmth that the pink brought to the Ivory. and then…there is BLUE…do you see it????
    i wanted my kitchen to the like the inside of a Conch Shell. over and over i painted it and over and over i failed.
    Daughter refers to it as BubbleGum. that’s what i got. well…
    Color is tricky.

    Yep, color is tricky. I really like the cascade of circles.

    that pink on the inside circle of green Tara’s ‘halo’–that’s it. And I think the blues in her world make it work a certain way too, just like the blue accents of the conch. The second conch where the pink gets so intense…that’s where a creature lived once-the front porch.
    But the webs draping the bells, well-maybe just cobwebs, but I’d like to think it was spiders honoring her with garlands. Something quite magical there.
    Your cloth has many like colors, not so pink, not so blue though. I do love those dark thin thread lines bery much. I’ve no idea what more, and look forward to what you think, or what the goats think.

    Color is becoming something startling to me too. I’ve been looking deeply for a long time but… at something else. Form? Shape? Shadow? Light? This is like–Oh!

    always marveled at shell pink. i think it might be the way it slowly fades in and out. and color, no one can say what is needed except the moment.

    but of course, goats think in the here and now, not speculatively, and not metaphorically. There are very few goat poets or novelists for example. Of course, one must consider how many humans actually understand Goat…so, who knows.

    The first thing out of my mouth when I teach color theory is…”color is slippery.” How does one match the color of a shell? Its not the color that is amazing, its the shiny surface, smooth shell reflection, pearlescence that almost refracts light. Its light playing off surface. Trying to match the color of a shell is like trying to take home the ocean in the bottle: the wind, the waves, the sky, the sun – everything that comes together in that particular place is ocean, not the water and the sand. I think of color in that way – there is something we are unable to capture about the depth of an object’s color – fascinating. And, I am chuckling at the idea of that divine shell becoming bubble gum. And I love the contrast between the perfectly smooth shell and the cracked, wonderful stone.

    not to discourage prudence, this made me laugh out loud
    my granny’s favourite colours were “shell pink and sky blue”. she used to wear blouses of either of these colours with a navy skirt when she was working in london sixty odd years ago.
    i have a shell that looks just like yours
    and yes colours are slippery, in one house we were in i painted duckegg greeny blue on the ceiling and as squares on the concrete floor and it looked green on one and blue on the other. if you put the colour on the brush and started down low, you could watch the colour change as it travelled up! it was fascinating.
