For many years I have created sumptuous architecture and decorations for elegant homes. Most of the works are behind locked doors and not available for public viewing. It is partly for this reason that I am generally better known for the pavement art that has always been available to the public. Between works that are locked up or simply washed away, I sometimes do not have as many works as I would like for shows. For this reason I have been making an effort to make new works as print editions and even to revisit some of the earlier themes that I no longer have access to.
Card playing became a popular theme for painting by the early 17th century and usually depicted one of the players being duped. In this composition all of the figures are cheating in various ways, even using the animals as accomplices. This pastel is available as a fine art edition. It can be seen at the AFA gallery in the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. The address is below:
