#8 Resurrection cross

The purple Resurrection Cross floats upon a patterned background of red and blue. I created the background before I really knew what I was going to do with it.  I was still exploring using the painter’s tape but wanted to do something different with it.  I created squares with it and used them to cut the corners of the larger squares creating the octagons.  The palette paper creates a border to contrast all of the geometry.  Yellow naturally appears as a complement to the true purple circle in the upper right.
