Agate

Agate : is a microcrystalline variety of silica, chiefly chalcedony, characterised by its fineness of grain and brightness of color. Although agates may be found in various kinds of rock, they are classically associated withvolcanic rocks and can be common in certain metamorphic rocks.

from the all-knowing Wikipedia.

For some reason, the layers of marvelous colors have sparked an interest in geology. I recently visited a showroom where the showpiece in a kitchen display was an agate countertop.

Abstract Thought

Abstract art is everywhere. And "everywhere" means I've seen it in a traditional colonial house stocked with English antiques to the 92,000+ items that came back when I searched for abstract art on Etsy. Abstract art has definitely made its statement in fashion with graphic colorblock tees, printed dresses and ties. Sometimes fashion sees the trend first.
Now, canvases with splashes and drips and lines are a fantastic way to add color to a room that lacks a focal point. Or, if you can't hang a 6' painting, try a throw pillow...
