Season Diane Dillon

The composition presents a scene framed by a dark border and set against a vibrant orange background, evoking a sense of enclosure or sacred space. The arrangement is symmetrical, suggesting order and balance, typical of religious iconography. Three figures dominate the central plane, positioned around a rectangular table that serves as a focal point.
On the left, a figure clad in flowing yellow and blue garments holds a vessel, seemingly offering its contents. To their right sits a woman with a child on her lap; she too holds a container, though its purpose is less clear. The third figure, positioned to the right of the table, stands holding scales, an instrument often associated with justice or measurement. A young boy stands near them.
The table itself is laden with objects: a bowl, a pitcher, and a scattering of small, round items that resemble seeds or coins. These details introduce elements of sustenance, prosperity, or perhaps even judgment. Behind the figures, stylized trees rise, their foliage rendered in a simplified, almost geometric manner. The repetition of this motif creates a sense of continuity and connection to nature.
The figures’ expressions are serene and contemplative, conveying an atmosphere of solemnity and introspection. Their gazes are directed towards different points within the scene, suggesting individual roles within a larger narrative. The clothing is richly detailed with patterns that add visual interest and denote status or significance.
Beneath the image, a phrase appears: And a time to refrain from embracing. This inscription introduces an element of restraint or discipline, potentially alluding to a spiritual principle or moral guideline. It suggests that the scene depicts not just abundance but also the need for moderation and self-control. The overall effect is one of symbolic richness, inviting contemplation on themes of responsibility, balance, and the cyclical nature of existence.
