I like the idea of these simple exercises. One can get lost in it and forget time and space. It's an easy yet effective way of breaking art block. Had a lot of fun working on those.

I'm not a fan of the spirals, but I do like this shells.
The first pic is worked from the center out. Tried working some contrast in, but since I moved sorta in a spiral around the center, it didn't work out.
The second pic is worked from the outside in. With the contrasting areas this looks like storm clouds or a raging sea.

Next I had an idea for the drops.
The first pic is a bit boring, but I love how the second one turned out.

Tweaked it a little. Now I like it much better.

I like the simplicity of the concentric lines. Adding contrast or shading can create beautiful effects, too.
Attempted the bundled drops. This is probably my least favourite pic.
