I haven’t posted anything for a while. Summer stuff got in the way and this painting took a lot longer than the typical painting.
I just finished it and will post a better photo later.
The cards are a copy of a deck from Hardy a taxed deck for export to the colonies of the US back in colonial times.
The dice are wooden hand carved and go with the box that is used for a tavern dice game. The cylinder on top of the box is a hand made leather drinking glass from the same period.
All comments welcome. Thanks for checking it out.

I actually thought it was a source photo.
Incredible realism, all the different textures wood, leather, cloth handled beautifully.
The only thing I can give C&C on is that some edges (like the cylinder) appear a bit sharp.
@Abstraction.
This photo loses some of the details. Like the highlights on the very top edges of the cards. There’s actually a bit of yellow and red in those highlights.
@Abstraction, I’d be glad to take a close look at your painting and give a detailed critique if you like.
BTW, at 75 hours for a 24" X 24", I'd say we paint at about the same speed.
Thanks @tassieguy I’ll submit it to a show next year. I’ve already got three in two shows this year and have three more for a couple more shows this year. It is interesting that we paint at about the same rate. I don’t mind the time while working on them. The time just slips away while painting.
This is a very good painting. There are two things the lock my eyes. The lines on the bottom, front face of table top and the dark space below, are nearly equal in size. This is causing me to get stuck there too long. The back edge of the table top is is coincidental with the edge of the pine paneling. Agin just a bit sticky. These things do't take away from the quality of the painting.
I live in a log house. When I see more pine I long for paint.
