The Embrace

Two figures, foreheads nearly touching, built entirely from planes of blue against a field of amber and rust.

Nobody has a face here. The tenderness comes from posture alone — the tilt of two heads, arms folded around each other — and that restraint is what stops the piece from being sentimental.

It's an anniversary or wedding-gift painting for people who wouldn't want anything obvious. Works over a bed, in a dining room, anywhere a warm abstract belongs.

The design is cubist in construction: overlapping translucent facets, each one a defined shape, with the figures reading blue and cool against a background that runs warm gold to burnt orange.

The 24-color version gives a bolder, flatter reading with sharper contrast between the two temperatures. This paint by numbers design suits 36: the facets overlap like coloured glass, so a single fold of fabric may pass through four close blues in sequence, and the background layers many golds, ambers and rusts. Those small steps are what give the planes their transparency. We recommend the 36-color version for this design.
