Ember Crescents, Mirrored Abstract in Orange, Red and Gold

A horizontal abstract design made of thick, black-outlined curved shapes in yellow, orange and deep red, repeated as mirror images across the top, bottom, left and right. Small olive-green marbled ovals sit at the center of each curl against a dark green background, and swirled orange and gray details appear at the outer edges.

A stranger scrolling past is stopped by warm color and strict symmetry: thick black-outlined crescents in yellow, orange and deep red, mirrored in four directions around a dark green-brown center. It looks like stained glass lit from behind. For someone who wants a bold, warm, graphic piece for a wide wall, that look is reason enough to want it. Most abstracts in this category are loose and painterly. This one is built from nested curves, hard outlines and flat color fields, and the surfaces inside the outlines are not flat: speckled, fabric-like and marbled.
