1. The emphasis would be the word "Recluse", as it is one of the brightest values in the piece, and it follows against the leg of the spider.
2. The landscape goes completely around the bag, and the spider not only connects perfectly in the back, but wind around half the bag.
3. The dashed lines on the top of the design were pretty unique, I suppose, as no one else did that. The lines was to help make the piece move around the bag, as well as giving it an 'old' look to it. Everyone knows old things were always recluse and closed off.
4. My word, recluse, means to be shut off from the word, it can be either a way of living or a way of viewing. Also recluse spiders. When I heard of recluse, I thought about lake houses on a small lake up in Maine or something (totally not thinking of the lake houses described in Stephen King's novels). The brown helps give it that sullen and old look.
