Blue Diamond Seam - Mirrored Bare Trees

A vertical image of bare tree branches and trunks mirrored left to right along a thin dark central line. The trunks fork and cross to form X-shapes and a bright blue diamond in the middle, with smaller blue diamonds repeating above and below. Fine twigs in dark brown and purple cover the pale lavender and olive background. A swirling, liquid-like pattern runs through the blue areas.

A collector wants this piece for its strict mirror symmetry and the glowing blue diamond at its center. Dark, bare tree limbs form X-shapes around that diamond, and a thin vertical seam splits the picture like a kaleidoscope or Rorschach image. It reads at once as trees against sky, then turns into a bold, hypnotic pattern. Many mirrored or kaleidoscope pieces are circular mandalas. This one is a tall portrait composition built from branches, and its saturated blue stands out against aubergine-brown and pale lavender.
