Two panels mounted side by side, an inch apart, totaling 26" x 34" (66 cm x 87 cm)
This painting is from the first roll of double-exposure film that started my Polyphony series, in 2006. This was my biggest bet upping the ante of cubism: slightly changing the point of view, but also slightly changing the time of view, like frames in a movie.

For those of you with low vision:
This painting is a diptych; two panels, side by side. with similar compositions... both superimpose the view out of of windows onto a shingle-style porch with a beach and ocean behind. In the left panel, the view is straight out two windows; in the right panel, your view has turned slightly to the right, showing one of those windows plus two adjacent windows on the side wall lokking out to the view down the length of the beach and the side of the neighboring house. In the left panel, the view out the windows is superimposed over a night view of that same beach with faint cirrus clouds in the black sky above a moonlight-dappled ocean. In the right panel, the view out the windows is superimposed over a vignette of the beach in muted light, dominated by a shadow of trees falling across two-thirds of the foreground. The window views are bightly lit with warm colors of a summer day, including a salmon-colored canvas back to a chair. The background images are in subdued, cool colors.
