The Crooked Line: Glowing Bands of Blue and Amber

Contemporary Abstract & Mixed Media · horizontal

Curved bands of translucent color fan across the frame in cobalt blue, amber, pink and pale white. Fine parallel lines and small gold flecks texture each band, and the lower edge glows yellow where the light is strongest. A thin dark wavering line cuts diagonally through the bands. Deep red-brown shadow fills the upper left and lower right corners.

Someone wants this piece for the way it glows. Light seems to pass through curved, ribbed bands of cobalt blue, amber, orange and pale lavender-white. One thin, dark, wavering line cuts across them, and a deep red-brown shadow anchors the corner. Most colorful abstracts are soft or evenly busy. This one has real contrast, with bright glowing edges against dark, saturated shadow, and it has one small flaw of a line that gives the eye something to follow. It is a piece you can like on sight, with no explanation needed.
