Polyptych

 This type of artwork is a painting, typically an altarpiece, consisting of more than three leaves or panels joined by hinges or folds.  Boogie (my chihuahua), and I are working on two attached with decorative wood joints.

I have painted several  in the last two years which allows the person exhibiting it t to hang it however they please.  This time I had the bright idea to join them myself into one hangable work. This one only has a little more to do to the surface when I have finished the frame.

This one has all of the embellishments missing

I am starting a third to demonstrate the method of creating the collage shapes in class using sandwich paper collage.  I cut up an old painted board today and will add one long narrow board and two small boards for a five part polyptych.  Fun times!
