From my 2nd floor window I have a view of a great park with grass lawns, perfect for a picnic as depicted here.

As I glanced out the window I noticed this scene, took a photo and made a sketch.

The boy with a 4 on his T-shirt was a nice focal point, hence the title.

This is also the 4th art quilt with picnic as it's subject in my career.
