Game of Jacks: An Age-Old Kids Game




Game of Jacks
5” x 7” (12.7cm x 17.8cm) acrylic on gessoed board
SOLD
 
This is a painting I started some time ago, then set aside when I got busy with other things. I’m trying to finish a number of ideas that have been cooking for a while and this is one of them.

I dug out these jacks from an old toy box when looking for some other things, and seeing them with the available light in the room struck me as a different view of this old traditional kids game. The colors really are as vivid, if not more so, than they show up on the computer monitor and the colored jacks must have come from back in the 60’s.
