Ember Tide - Swirling Orange and Maroon Abstract

A horizontal abstract of glossy, swirling shapes in orange, yellow, red and brown. A tall dark red form stands at the left, with olive-green and orange rounded blobs scattered through the middle. Ribbons of blue, purple and yellow curl across the lower right.

A wall-sized burst of fire-colored, glossy swirls that stops you from across the room. Orange and yellow glow against deep maroon and brown, and cool blue ribbons at the lower right cut through the heat. The tall maroon column at the left looks a little like a figure standing in the flow. Most abstracts in this category are either one soft colour wash or a busy mix of everything. This one has a clear warm temperature, a real dark-to-light range and one cool counterpoint, so the colour is the reason to want it.
