Fall Rhythms




These are four little paintings that I created to hang as a group.
Each of them measures 5"x 5" and they are all edge-painted.
I added bits of copper leaf for shine. The challenge was to make
each piece work individually, but also as a group.
Okay I know that two pieces together is a diptych,
three a triptych, but what do you call four?

I love this grouping and the idea of having each of the pieces stand alone...

According to the font of all knowledge (Wikipedia ;) ):

"tetraptych" describes 4 parts; "pentaptych" describes 5 parts; "hexaptych" describes 6 parts; "heptaptych" describes 7 parts; and "octaptych" is the term used for an eight-part, or eight-panel, work of art.
