How the Painting puzzle works
The receipt is a list of artwork names, not a code to enter.
Read the Paintings Sold This Month receipt.
Four names: Journey, Windows, Thunder and Tides.
Identify the painting each name describes.
Use the pillar button to move the spotlight.
Leave the spotlight on the correct painting.
Repeat until all four groups are correct.
The hidden passage opens on its own.
Do not count button presses. Because the spotlights keep their state, only the painting you leave lit matters.
Gallery layout
Where each group of paintings sits in the gallery.
