Diptych

#290
Source material: Checkered wrapping paper
This and the following image are the first two Weeklies meant to be a diptych. I don't know what took so long to think of this, since I've been wanting to make a horizontal piece for a long time...


#289
Source material: Grain Storage
Many years ago when I lived in Flagstaff, one of the big employers was Purina and when I first saw this recent image, it reminded me of that plant in Arizona. The logo for the company was a red checker so the rest of this diptych came together pretty easily.

...or even a tritych with two copies of #290, one on either side of #289? Maybe a horizontal flip on one copy of #290?

It would be nice to see the order you visualize for the diptych - which image on left. Adding another image to this post showing the envisioned placement would be handy.

Sorry about the second half of my last comment. Some how I missed the text on #290! It is obvious how they would be placed relative to each other.

Pat, I like your thinking: a triptych! or 4 even! It's real easy to get stuck in the box.

Your idea to see them together online is a good one, and I will post those in my "featured" gallery on the portfolio website.

Thanks again for your comments.
