Ember Seahorse, Red Kaleidoscope Silhouette

A red seahorse is drawn in bold silhouette on a white background, with a long pointed snout, a spiked back and a tightly curled tail. Its body is filled with a swirling, mirrored pattern in deep reds, with small glints of orange and yellow. Thin white lines run across it to mark the segments and fins.

Most seahorse art is a pale, soft, beachy illustration. This one is a bold red silhouette on clean white, with the body filled by a glowing, mirrored, kaleidoscopic pattern and cut across by fine white lines like armor segments. Someone wants it because it is graphic and rich at the same time. It reads clearly from across a room, and up close it keeps giving more to look at. It also brings a strong red to a room without a landscape or a floral.
