CHESTNUT BROWN

 KASTANJE.  CHESTNUT. CHATAIGNE

the predominant image and color : chestnuts that we gathered at our writer/artist friend marion bloem's home in the netherlands. it was fall and they covered her lawn. the children were sent to gather them up and put them in buckets to be cleared away. i wanted to photograph them. so rich, shiny, varied, smooth - they feel wonderful in the hand.

also seen here in fragments:  a sherwood hamill table coffee table

the frame of an original vermeer painting i saw at the rijksmuseum in amsterdam
