Ember and Tide, Orange and Blue Swirling Abstract

A horizontal abstract of glossy, swirling colour. Cool blues, purples and silvers on the left meet warm oranges, golds and reds on the right, with a wavy zigzag line running down the middle. Spiky, feathered shapes curl around large spirals, and a bright glow lights the upper right.

Most orange-and-blue abstracts pick one temperature. This one holds both. The left side is cool blue, violet and silver, and the right side is warm orange and gold with a glowing white-yellow burst at the upper right. A rippling zigzag ribbon runs down the middle and joins the two halves. Glossy, feathered, flame-like fronds curl around a large spiral, so the surface looks liquid, like glass or wet paint. Someone wants it because it stops the eye at first glance and then keeps rewarding a longer look. For a buyer with a settled room, it brings warm and cool colour together on one wall.
