"checkmate"

This is my third painting. It is on an 8" x 10" canvas board; titled "checkmate". For this one I happened to be bored at work one day and began doodling on a piece of paper. I doodled a sketch of the chess pieces next to one another, and when I went to put my sketch on canvas I ended up inverting one of the pieces and blending them together. I really like how the chess pieces turned out. For the background I imitated a chess board with the board "dripping" near the bottom.  I think it adds a little character to the painting. This one is pretty basic, but I like the simplicity of it.
