let’s say i’m in the cutoff with Kd Jd and i raise to try to pick up the
blinds and antes… and eric is the big blind and he calls… and the flop
comes Ad-4s-6h which doesn’t help me at all… and eric checks to me… and
i think… should i bet at the pot and represent the ace? and then i look at
him… and he’s got the same look on his face as in this painting…

i’d know i was beat.

Thanks – this one, and the last [Ben] were both painted from a black canvas, rather than white, which is actually much harder than I expected, but it seems to encourage a different kind of tonal range.

The best portrait so far. I love your use of highlights.
