Flying higher and higher

This one was started as a drawing while we were on the road back in April and May.

I did manage to paint another 5-piece (octopus) while on the road and it sold at that weekends show.

I always have the question, what do you call a five piece?

I had researched several times, and it was called a polyptych.

A polyptych is a hinged piece of three panels or more.

That worked for me.

I looked it up several times and got the same answer.

Just now I looked again, and they are actually called a Pentaptych.

And now, spell check is screaming at me to correct the spelling.

The word comes from the Greek word "ptyche" which means a fold.

Add the prefix "penta" and you have pentaptych.

Words are so interesting, but Lord now I have to learn how to pronounce that one!

It's always interesting to paint larger works while in a camper. 

I really have to break them apart after drawing them, then paint.

The pieces are then put on a table outside to make sure the edges match.

I am then able to paint the edges to complete the piece.

We love them, because are a large piece that fits in a small bag.

Always interesting to paint!
