blueshift - intersecting gradients

Based on some of the manipulated photos I posted as abstracts, this is a completely made up image I created using Paintbrush, a free color-paint program on my Mac. I can see too many artifacts from the tool that my skill isn't up to dealing with. HOWEVER, the basic thought seems to have worked out ok. What I noticed in the manipulated images of the inside of a crab's shell is that having a gradient or progression in a limited palate going along one dimension, and then applying a second palate and shape in another direction was "interesting" to look at. So here's a spray-paint gradient in blue tones, upper left to lower right, with a poured color splater going right to left, fading from orange to bright yellow.
