Yellow Ribbon Rows - Mirrored Marbled Pattern

A square pattern of repeating mirrored motifs in bright yellow swirls against soft sky blue and lavender. The yellow lines curl and fold into symmetrical, wing-like or petal-like shapes. Small black and orange-edged diamonds and bow-tie shapes line up across the middle of each of three rows.

A collector wants this piece for its bright yellow ribbons curling through soft sky blue and lavender, mirrored so they pulse like a slow rhythm. It reads at once as cheerful and orderly, yet each motif can be seen as a wing, a petal or folded paint. The small dark diamonds and bow-ties running through the middle of each row give the eye a place to travel along. Most pastel abstracts blur into a wash. This one has structure, a clear yellow focus and a steady beat, and the colours would suit a room that already has blue, lavender or warm neutral tones.
