The Turning Current, Blue and Peach Fluid Abstract

A horizontal abstract in saturated blues, teals and greens, with a large V-shaped form at the center. Curling ribbons of peach and cream flow through it, and small spirals with yellow and white edges sit to the left and right. Warm yellow and orange glows light the bottom, and the surface looks smooth and liquid.

A stranger scrolling past dozens of blue abstracts would stop here for the glow. Small spirals with bright cream and yellow edges, and curling peach ribbons, float inside a deep blue and green V-shaped form, so the picture has a warm light source inside a cool field. Most blue-and-teal abstracts stay cool and flat. This one has a lit centre, a clear structure and a path for the eye to follow, so it reads as a considered image rather than a pattern.
