Art For Sale for the New Year

'Miro Mira' - Bottom Row, Second from Right

A favorite combination titled 'Miro Mira' was selected as a feature in 'Art For Sale' at RedBubble yesterday.

It is pictured in the bottom row, second from the right. Interesting to see all the different shapes and how they all blend together in this stunning group. So happy to be included.

The images all appear on the group Facebook Fan Page too, for added exposure.

Kaleidoscope Friends

Through My Friend’s Eyes

Both Peach Heart and Teal Opus have been added to friend Owl's great site Through My Friend's Eyes. This also links the images in the collection to Twitter for more exposure. If you click on the title, it will bring you to the site where you can view these images and others. A very lovely collection of abstract and kaleidoscope images.

Can you guess what they were derived from?
