This is a reworking and update of a painting done last summer. I wanted to get back to this painting and work on reflections and highlights to bring it up to date.

I’ve alway enjoyed working with small objects and zooming in to see details and textures that we sometimes overlook. If it’s not fun I’ll stop doing it.

This is the second game of jacks I’ve painted, however this is a different set of jacks that give a more colorful composition. The game of jacks was originally called “Jackstones” because it was played with stones or even bones. I’ve seen it still played this way in other countries around the world. It’s still great for kids to develop eye-hand coordination.

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.

MY VISION.... The idea to do a daily painting began for me in November 2006 as a way to make paintings available to a growing number of collectors. Large original paintings cost more than many people are willing or able to pay, however small original works can be purchased for a reasonable price. It’s a very democratic idea to make art available so more people can collect original artworks. I create a new painting every few days with subjects varying depending on the ideas I'm currently considering. My paintings are acrylic on hand primed board with a 1/2inch edge to easily hang without a frame. All paintings posted are for sale unless indicated and I’ve shipped throughout the USA, Canada and internationally. If you see a painting you like, it may be purchased using the “Buy Now” button on my blog, my Daily Painters gallery, or sending an email to me. Because colors on a computer screen are not always accurate, when purchasing I guarantee your satisfaction or you may return the work for a full refund. Please take time to browse my blog archives above and enjoy the blog.___ © Copyright by Paul Wolber
