Piece description from the artist
The triangles came from three larger earlier triangle paintings which had a lot of built up layers of detail. I liked the paintings side by side and developed that idea in this smaller work. Blue, purple and red were the 3 colors adjacent on the color wheel which I used. Yellow was the accent.
