Improvement Begins With I, Blue Mirrored Scroll Abstract

A horizontal, symmetrical design of large cobalt-blue curling shapes outlined in navy, set against turquoise and warm brown. At the center a deep blue oval glows with a turquoise edge and holds the quotation 'Improvement begins with I.' in script lettering. Small cream oval shapes with brown centers sit above and below the oval.

A collector wants this one because it combines two things rarely found together: a strictly mirrored cobalt-and-turquoise scroll design with warm brown and cream accents, and a short sentence, 'Improvement begins with I.', set in glowing script at its centre. It reads as a pattern first and a message second. The glowing oval gives the eye a place to land, and the curling forms lead it back there. Most blue abstracts have no words, and most quote prints have no depth of design.
