Heat Dome, watercolor and ink on paper

I don't know if i like this painting very much, I painted it during the heat dome (I don't have air conditioning), and I think it sounds like one. I can hear cicadas in it. It feels prickly, crowded, and uncomfortable and restless.

I'd also just watched a film about lionfish. They are beautiful, invasive, full of venomous spines, and change reefs simply by existing. Somehow that worked its way into this picture too.

The more I look at it, the less I think it's about heat and the more I think it's about a landscape becoming uncomfortable to live in. The day is hot, the night is hot, and even the moon doesn't help.

I'm still undecided about the painting, but i think it does show the feelings.

Not sure what to think

It took me around 5-6 hours to paint this and I don’t like it when I see it from distance but from close up I kind of like it. Where did I go wrong, if I went wrong with this?
