This, I think, is one of the most successful of the spiral paintings. A very simple and highly abstracted portrait of Linda. This one is made of only four layers of relatively large overlapping spirals laid out in a grid 10 high by 7 wide. The layers are offset 1/2 a spiral diameter to the right, down, and down and to the right. This offset creates a remarkable border and some intense diagonals and diamonds in the darker areas with the simple vertical and horizontal lines in the lighter areas.
