The dominant color of red just brings to mind the attonement of Christ.
The background is an orange that was painted wet in wet, and then splattered with a variety of other colors.
This was more a happy accident then something that I planned on. I happened the red Steps pattern out, and as I was looking at it, it dawned on me that the pink/purple layer I had recently cut would work well with it. So the red patterned layer is actually glued behind the pink/purple water color.
The Steps pattern is a classic celtic pattern that is often based on a cross shape. It repeats, and is varied to create a wide vocabulary of patterns. I've been experimenting with it, creating carpet pages, filled with step patterns.
