The story
Gregory spent three years mapping the moons of Jupiter. He did not find anything new, but he found a snake. The snake had no interest in the stars or the calculations in his notebook. It simply wrapped itself around the telescope and fell asleep. Gregory drank his coffee and watched the snake. He decided that a sleeping reptile was a sufficient discovery for one Tuesday. He did not update his charts.
The brief
A large boa constrictor coils around a small brass telescope on a grey wooden table. The snake is still, its brown and tan scales matching the dull beige walls. A single window lets in flat grey light, illuminating a single grey coffee mug beside the telescope.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
