Golden Seam - Glowing Purple and Orange Abstract

Soft, overlapping shapes of purple, magenta, orange, red and blue fill the frame like stained glass lit from behind. A bright orange and gold line runs diagonally through the center, and a few tiny round bubbles sit near the top and right. The edges between colors glow with thin pale highlights.

This is a colour piece before it is anything else. A glowing orange-gold seam runs diagonally through violet, magenta, red and blue, so warm and cool meet along a line that looks lit from behind. A stranger would want it for that one bright crossing and for how the colours sweep toward it. Other purple-and-orange abstracts are usually flat or muddy. This one has depth and glossiness, with tiny bubbles floating in the blue at right that make it feel like looking into something.
