There is something very soothing and safe in this piece. All that warm yellow light...the comfort of a lazy afternoon. The red would usually makes me think of something more sanguine, but here I feel contained and safe. It evokes a sense of rose petals or the reddish color of shadows turn in the presence of a candle. The source material for this did have candles in it, but I feel there is a difference between the mere presence of a candle and the comfort that comes from it. So many of my pieces have an element of urgency or emergency in them, but I feel no danger here. Makes me want to take a nap.
