Spectral Study VII: Clay

This month's spectral study is Clay, a little unexpected, but it's all around me these days that I have spent in Greece.  From sunsets, to earth and rocks, to clay roofs against crystal blue skies, coppery Clay is a new favorite.  It shines and glows, matte and flat, all natural in every interpretation.

As it stands alone in tile work, or as a background color, it is strong but subtle.  The combination of Clay, White, Beige and Crystal Blue cannot be beat, at least today, at least in Greece.  From the villages of my grandparents, to the beaches of Schinias, and the sunsets over Marathon, this is the authentic color of Greece.

thanks for sharing a wonderful collage on such a basic material as clay - it even makes corrugated iron more meaningful
