Slow Scrollwork - Mirrored Cobalt Blue Abstract

A horizontal abstract picture in rich blues, with teal and violet tints showing through. Faint curling, scroll-like shapes repeat in mirror image around a central axis, over a fine vertical streaked texture. Darker blue bands run down the left and right sides.

Someone wants this piece for its depth of blue and for how slowly it gives itself up. At first glance it is a rich cobalt field with teal and violet showing through. After a minute, curling scrollwork appears, mirrored around a central axis and sitting just under a fine vertical streaking like falling rain. Other blue abstracts are flat colour or loud pattern. This one is quiet and ornamental, with a reveal built in, so the wall keeps rewarding a second look.
