Ember Crescents - Red and Yellow Symmetrical Abstract

A horizontal, perfectly mirrored abstract design in red, orange, yellow and cream. Four yellow crescent shapes with pointed ends curl around red scroll forms, and olive-green marbled shapes meet at the centre. Dark outlines separate each colour area, much as lead lines do in stained glass.

Someone would want this piece for its glowing, backlit warmth. Four yellow crescents with pointed tips curl around deep red scrolls, and thick dark outlines hold each colour area like leading in a stained-glass window. The mirror symmetry makes it calm to look at, while the swirled, marbled passages in the green and orange give the eye something to follow. Many red-and-orange abstracts are loose and gestural. This one is ordered, saturated and rich in colour.
