Description
I've played Monopoly many times in my life, so when I was given a painting challenge to incorporate two dice into a painting, I resorted to familiar territory to create this story in paint. In this piece, the player in the sports car had been on CHANCE, rolled 3 on the dice, and now had landed on Boardwalk (which in itself would be bad enough, but in this case is even worsened by the hotel that is visible on the property). As you can see from what is tucked under the board, this unfortunate player only has twenty five dollars in cash and a mortgaged property, truly having "Bad Luck on Boardwalk"! The Chance cards were painted and roughed up with sandpaper to give them a "well-used" look, and painting the exactness of the lettering on the game board was fun for a detailed painter like me!
