I love trades! I have traded my artwork for many things, including dog-sitting. Heather had been dog-sitting my dog Syan for a while when she suggested that I pay her in art rather than cash, which I too preferred. Unfortunately, Heather recently moved out of town so the trade is now complete. I AM LOOKING FOR another DOG SITTER (cash offered, but art payment preferred). Please message me if you or someone you know is interested.
For Heather's artwork she told me she likes "trees/branches/purple/rainbows." I chose branches-only initially, but I decided it looked more lively with leaves also. I made purple the dominant color (top left / center / bottom right), followed by the color Cyan (same pronunciation as my dog's name, Syan, top right / bottom left), and added some warmth (top / middle center) as if it were sunshine coming through the tree's branches to give the piece some rainbow-ness, diversity and more depth.

Multi-panel artworks have been around for thousands of years. During early Renaissance times churches and cathedrals commonly used multi-panel artworks as altarpieces. Multi-panel artworks are still popular today, and they are an interesting approach to creating art.
Two of my favorite previous artworks are multi-panel pieces, and recently I have been exploring more multi-panel artworks. I enjoy the challenge of working with multiple pieces of paper and compositions and unifying them all into one work of art. I love the way altering the composition changes the entire piece and how viewers relate to it, and I appreciate the many ways the artwork can be displayed when illustrated in multiple panels.

I create my artworks in darkness on photographic paper. Once the photographic paper is exposed and processed it is complete. I cannot adjust anything afterward or go back over an area as a painter would on canvas. So I work with many pieces of photo paper before completing a final artwork. These are known as preliminary sketches or test strips. The above image required many preliminary sketches to complete; the errors I encounter working in darkness were multiplied by three sheets of paper and the need to have them unified to be one artwork.
a brief general account or presentation. I often create preliminary sketches in preparation for larger, more detailed works of art.
Test Strip: A method of calculating exposure in photographic printing. A number of exposures are given to smaller pieces of paper, over specific areas of the image to help judge the exposure in the final print. I use test strips to calculate exposure times as well as to determine colors and color combinations.
