Ruffled Tide, Turquoise and Red Fluid Abstract

A horizontal abstract of marbled, liquid-looking swirls in vivid color. A large turquoise and blue shape with a ruffled lower edge fills the center-left, with dark red, orange and yellow currents curling around it. A pale cream oval near the middle stands out against the saturated colors.

A stranger stops on this because of the clash of temperatures. A cool, ruffled turquoise form sits in the middle of hot red, orange and yellow currents, and all of it moves in one glossy, marbled flow. The pale cream oval near the center gives the eye somewhere to land. Most colourful fluid abstracts blend into one big wash. This one has a clear focal shape and a strong cool-against-warm structure, so it reads as a single image from across a room.
