Board games seem to be a big part of the lives of people around me. I enjoy playing a board game now and then. Those near and dear to me play more often than I choose to play. I think the forms of chess pieces are interesting and the distorted grid has intrigued me for some time. Lots of metaphorical possibilities with this one, I will think on that more as I continue to work on it. I think the sky is too dark, but I like the purple/yellow grid.
I fell away from blogging in 2011. I think I was questioning if it is worth the time, and even questioning if painting is really how I should be spending my time. I'm hoping to post weekly in 2012.
