Ember Window, Kaleidoscope Oval in Orange and Blue

A horizontal oval design filled with overlapping rounded shapes in orange, red, teal and grey, repeated as mirror images across the center. The shapes sit on a rich blue background and are edged in thin golden lines. The oval floats on a white field with a thin red border.

A stranger stops because the orange and red shapes look lit from within against a deep cobalt blue, and because the whole oval is mirrored so exactly that it reads like a glowing stained-glass window. It is bold and warm, with a settled, steady rhythm. Most orange-and-blue abstracts are loose or chaotic. This one is symmetrical, outlined in fine gold, and framed like a jewel on a white field, so it suits someone who wants strong colour with order.
