STACCATO & BRILLIANT

BLAST
5 1/4 x 5 1/4 pastel
8"square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame

The rays blared in brilliant flashes.

Staccato, loud and grand... the illusion 
sparked similarity to a horn's blasts.

A grand way to herald in the new year!

    The palette in this is GORGEOUS! Love the ares where turquoises and purples touch the dark. The areas of white are a nice rest for the eye before the excitement starts again. Very dramatic and full of energy!
