This watercolor on paper painting depicts an imaginative abstracted landscape suggestive of a warm hearth setting. This painting is part of the latticeWorks series. The use of color and compositional elements in this series help the viewer stay in the painting and interpret what they see through their own experience and observation. Many of the images and figures are purposely left ambiguous so that the viewer can develop their own narrative based on the meanings of the symbols or images for them. This ambiguity also allows for images to have more than one meaning, and to reflect the multiple facets of human nature. The warm orange/yellow triangle evokes the image of a hearth, the center of a home which can provide warmth, light and protection, and the triangle symbolizing stability, harmony and balance. Above the triangle are iconic figures, ancestors who observe the lives below and provide guidance or example through their legacy in washes of olive green, burgundy, and brown on a grey-blue background.
