Tomorrow Will Be All About Dots

I have been diligently painting Mah Jongg Tile Cards in my free time this week. I guess it’s not free time when I am painting. So far I have completed the Winds, the Craks, and the Bams. That’s 88 out of 152 tiles.

I was very worried about painting the One Damn Bird Bam and it was not so bad (If you know you know.) Thank goodness because I still have the complicated flowers to paint. These cards are definitely my artistic rendering of the tiles and not photo copies. I have enjoyed working with water colors, but have not had any fun with colors since I am trying to make the cards very familiar for Mah Jongg Players.

If I didn’t have need for these for teaching they could make a great giant art collage. Tomorrow I will start on the Dots. Making perfect circles is going to be a challenge, but nothing has been close to perfect so far. I am not worried about the flowers, but am not looking forward to the jokers. 64 more cards to go and not that much time. I should be painting now!
