There's part of me that screams, "Cheater! You can't s-l-o-w-l-y release one painting and number it as four separate entities." On the other hand, this was intended as four separate pieces -- they were clumped together only because I didn't have small canvas boards left. I actually drew four neat rectangles and intended to demarcate each corner with black boxes, but on a spur of the moment, I merged the backgrounds. It looks so much freer and spontaneous this way. I hope you enjoy. I haven't been doing "real" work for 6 days, so in the next few days, there will be less art and more catching up to life.
