Cobalt Sentinel, Mirrored Blue Abstract

A horizontal abstract in saturated blues with curling, glossy ribbons mirrored perfectly across the center. A pale, glowing figure-like shape sits in the middle, framed by turquoise swirls and dark blue loops. Warm orange, yellow and green streaks run along both side edges.

A stranger stops on the symmetry. Flowing cobalt and turquoise ribbons mirror perfectly across the centre and form a pale, glowing, figure-like shape, while warm orange, yellow and green streaks run up both side edges. It is a calm-looking blue picture with a warm flicker at its borders, and most blue abstracts have no figure and no warm frame. Someone with a wall that wants one strong colour, and who likes a picture that rewards a second look, will want this one rather than ten other blue swirls.
