Ember Light, Glowing Red and Blue Abstract

A close-up abstract of large, soft-edged shapes in glowing red, orange, purple and blue, divided by a pale cream gap. Light shines through the shapes as if from behind, and small bubbles and specks dot the glossy surface. Thin curved lines trace across the upper left.

A collector wants this one for its glow: a big, saturated red mass on the left, a pale cream channel in the middle, and cool blue, purple and orange shapes on the right, all lit as if from behind. Many red abstracts are flat or muddy. This one reads as light passing through colour. The small crisp bubbles right of center give the eye a place to land, so the soft fields hold attention instead of blurring away. It suits a person with a plain, settled room and one wall that needs a single strong colour.
