Turquoise & Coral :: Pattern Collection

Surface pattern designs © Kim Buchheit; licensing or purchasing option available.

I pulled some stone-like (or seed-podish) elements from a painting I completed yesterday, and developed this pattern series. Living in the Southwest, one cannot help but be inspired by the silver-cradled turquoise and coral found in the trading posts' jewelry cabinets. The colors are also reminiscent of Morning Glory Pool in Yellowstone National Park.
