I asked Lynne where the "4" came from (in the title, Domino Tones 4)...
"I have always been impressed by the way Anguillians use dominoes as a
socializing event. Gathering of players, talking about the days past, about
the future days, gossiping neighbors, government, post office, airport,
ferry, etc.
The idea came to me as: play or get played. Players slam dominoes. Secret sign to partner? Intimidation? Desperation? Or just tradition?
The canvas itself is of the same 1 to 2 ratio as a domino, because if you look closely, it is a domino!
Lots of fun to build the images
of the players into the domino. Everyone loves them."
I never noticed! See how the painting itself is a domino? See the playing spots (3 and 1)? Hence the "4" in the title.
