Ember Window: Red and Yellow Kaleidoscope Scrolls

A horizontal abstract design of curling cream-yellow scroll shapes and deep red forms, outlined in thick black lines and mirrored in four directions. Fiery orange, yellow and purple swirls fill the scrolls, and an olive-green cross-shaped center joins the four quadrants. It looks like a stained-glass window or a kaleidoscope.

A stranger wants this piece for its glow. Bold black outlines hold saturated red, yellow and orange swirls the way lead holds glass, and the whole design mirrors four ways around an olive-green cross. It looks backlit, like a window with the sun behind it, and the fiery warmth reads from across a room. Most kaleidoscope or mandala-style abstracts are cool, soft or circular. This one is a hot, graphic, outlined design with a distinct stained-glass character.
