Description
What else is there to do while idling away the hours in a forest?Actually, while doing this, it reminded me of this group of old Chinese men who meet down a few blocks from where I live every morning to play Chinese chess. There's always a crowd of them looming over the pair who are playing (of which there are only two or three) and all offering their advice and comments at once.

And if you're interested, this was the pencil sketch I had on the illustration board before starting to paint: [link]

Your art always has this way of waking up the creative area of my brains! Especially since I'm a colorist-person, and as I said, the color-scheme is absolutely lovely. The tree and the lady playing chess is a really great idea!
Great work once again.

This is so humourous, unique and well painted - the faces in the trees were a very nice touch and I simply adore the foxes.
