Awesome painting, Anaid. It took me a while to notice the chessboard.
eh eh eh
Anaid,
great painting, she's got lovely big bits ... the White King must be 6 inches tall! 
Amy, say something...
Thanks so much for posting the links to you work FirebrandX #:) Speelman's puzzle book and Stohl's Instructive Masterpieces are probably my favorite chess book covers. I've enjoyed what you've been doing with Watson's Mastering the Chess Openings as well, vol 4 may be my favorite yet (looking forward to peering tween that lovely cover once its released next month).
nice posts , thank you for the art and poems
Don't know if anyone posted this yet, but its a favorite, translated from Spanish:
Chess
by Jorge Luis Borges
I
In their solemn corner, the players move
The slow pieces. The board detains them
Until the dawn in its severe world
In which two colors hate each other.
Within the forms irradiates magic
Strictness: Homeric rook, swift
Knight, armed queen, crucial king,
Oblique bishop and aggressive pawns.
Once the players have finally left,
Once time has devoured them,
Surely the ritual will not have ended.
In the orient like this very war flared up
Whose amphitheater today is the earth entire.
Like the other, the game is infinite.
II
Weakling king, slanting bishop, relentless
Queen, direct rook and cunning pawn
Seek and wage their armed battle
Across the black and white of the field.
They know not that the player’s selected
Hand governs their destiny,
They know not that a rigor adamantine
Subjects their will and rules their day.
The player also is a prisoner
(The saying is Omar’s) of another board
Of black nights and of white days.
God moves the player, and he, the piece.
Which god behind God begets the plot
Of dust and time and dream and agonies?
You seem to have a thing for ladies with big weapons.
yep...
..just think of them as the black queen k
FirebrandX Absolutely positively INCREDIBLE!! You are an amazingly talented artist and to think I own many of your creations is more of a thrill now that I know the artist. Thanks W.M.
