"The King" Original

Acrylic on Canvas

Size: 10" by 20"

Inspired by: The game of chess.

Anyone that has played chess understands that chess is a lot like life, thinking five or more moves ahead and planning accordingly to take down obstacles (the opponents pieces while trying not to sacrifice your own. Though sometimes, it is necessary to move forward.)   

The king can only move one space at a time, but in any direction. Lose your king and the game is over, the Queen is the protector of the king for she has the power to move across all squares on the board, and in any direction she desires.
