Hello!

Here is a series of paintings I made based on the Root board game.

Very interesting, @JasonW. I think it illustrates the important point that in developing our skills it doesn't matter what we paint as long as we paint.

I think the last one with the dice is the best.  The values are very good and you've done the numbers on the dice extremely well.

Covid 19 strikes again? Whatever the impetus, these are very well done. Terrific values and shading. I never heard of this game but that's OK there are probably lots of developments in the last 40 years that I haven't paid attention to.

Oh yeah. We are in a golden age of hobby board gaming right now so many great games of all types are available. Here is a decent article as a starting point. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/board-games-for-adults/

Catan sounds interesting but I'm not into political games like Coup or Pandamic. And ZOMBIE Dice? Thanks but I think I'll stick to Parcheesi and Chinese Checkers. Oh the excitement!!

Well when Pandemic was released in 2008 it wasn't so political.
