Ember Eye in Electric Blue

A glowing oval ring of yellow-green encircles a crumpled, reddish-brown and gold center that resembles an eye. Around it, translucent layers of electric blue and turquoise ripple in fine curved lines. A broad band of golden orange sweeps in from the left, and small bubble-like dots dot the upper right. The overall effect is glassy, luminous and swirling, like a close-up of a transparent natural structure.

A collector wants this piece for its jewel-like, eye-shaped center: a ruffled reddish-brown and gold core inside a glowing lime-yellow ring. It sits in a current of electric blue and turquoise ripples, and a broad golden band sweeps in from the left. The color contrast is intense and the light looks backlit, like stained glass. It is a focal-point image that pulls the viewer inward. The scale and identity of the subject are unclear, which invites a second and third look. Visual attraction alone is reason enough to want it.
