This Square Marque involves many techniques. First, is the structural design. The squares alternate sizes. Starting with a square, I drew the next one one grid from the side and two grids from the top. The next one switched to being two grids from the side and one grid from the top. Then I would go back and forth between the different distances. After that was all done I added the lines. The lines connect from one square to the next until the final rectangle. The lines are what allow the viewer see the picture two different ways. I saw it as either steps up to a pyramid or steps down an upside down pyramid. This can also be seen as coming forward or going in.
The next technique is also in the color theme: fire. Throughout the piece the thin layers are shades of purple. The darkest is the outer most layers and it gradually works its way to the white inside. Then I began the warm colors. I started this with the yellow center point and gradually allowed the thicker layers to reach red. Seeing the over all piece as one I see an Asian scene. The purples with the sharp corners into the warm colors make me see a pagoda at the top of the highest mountain peek at sunset. The bleeding of the sun in to the sky behind building takes me to a postcard view.
