I also felt that the apple had something to do with it!<br /><br />"All the subtle strategies of the art of war have proven no match for a piece of fruit that follows its own rules."<br /><br />You've drawn out a depth that now has me thinking. My drawing could have been better in delineating the pieces though: the pawn is a rook and the bishop is a queen. Also the actual chess pieces I drew from do not have strong characteristics, thus the translation in drawing becomes ambiguous.<br /><br />Oh, they *are* scared. What will be the outcome? I'm seeing all sorts of themes...Paul Stilwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446241126728692642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725975489373372070.post-11635194043100892422010-09-05T13:17:06.867-07:002010-09-05T13:17:06.867-07:00+JMJ+

I can't help thinking that it was knocked over by that audacious apple next to it. All the subtle strategies of the art of war have proven no match for a piece of fruit that follows its own rules.<br /><br />And now the pawn, the bishop and the king are scared . . . very scared.Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725975489373372070.post-50710550747122072682010-09-03T19:32:42.746-07:002010-09-03T19:32:42.746-07:00Sadly, I had to arrange them.

I just grabbed whatever was at hand to draw, and didn't spend much time setting it up.<br /><br />I wish my surroundings were as romantic as to have fruits and chess pieces casually co-mingling, but alas, it just isn't so. :)Paul Stilwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446241126728692642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725975489373372070.post-81941990499638012852010-09-02T00:21:30.699-07:002010-09-02T00:21:30.699-07:00+JMJ+
