Ah, the painting your doing of the card players makes perfect sense. Like so many other conquerors, after the Mongol hordes defeated everybody in their path, the only victory left was killing Time itself. Nice going on it.

So when you're done with that one:

If you choose to copy another painting, copying this should keep you busy for a while with lots going on. It shows that writing comes in handy to keep everyone awake -- and of course it should keep a painter awake as well.

Just so you know, this pic had been cropped above and below, but it's the best one I could find showing the figures and faces somewhat clearly.

Have fun, matey!
