Fitting for a lot of reasons that I would post this on a Sunday night. I call it “impermanence“

Abstract image that uses turquoise, Orange, and Burgundy with accent of green red and purple. The background is a pale peach color that sort of Sand at sunset.

For the artist, this piece of evokes themes of vacationing, old friendships, Lost little treasures and the swiftness of time.
