You are very talented. This is an excellent first painting.

That’s a cool painting, very narrative!

Yes, there is technically a “one painting in 24 hours per forum” etiquette thing, I didn’t realize you posted the other here in oils too. Other WC forums have more of an issue with people flooding the front page with a ton of paintings. It doesn’t usually happen here.

If you have a bunch of paintings you want to share you could also put them all in one thread.

Thanks for sharing your work!

a4 in the opening??

Interesting composition, but i’m a sucker for chess paintings.

Yeah I taught him the rules and moves of the pieces but didn’t trouble him about opening theory (he’s 9 in case I didn’t mention it). So after the lesson I said so let’s start a game and he drew white. So he moved a4 and I decided not to hassle him except to point out the center squares are really important, and I moved NF6, he correctly played NF3 and then I took the picture.

Since you like chess paintings (me too) check out this drawing I did.
The position is from 14 yr old Bobby Fischer’s “Game of the Century” against Grandmaster Robert Byrne. It’s kind of dark – looks better in person I guess.

I know the game you painted well. I really like your take on it especially the 3d shadowing. I must do a chess painting now you’ve put me in the mood

Ps. I just this month enquired with Sam Shankland(US chess champion) for private lessons for my son. He said hes happy to teach him at 200 dollars an hour. (Ahem). I think i will do a couple. John Bartholomew 150. Its worth it i know but maybe too much.
