Checkerboard

I've been working on our display set up for an upcoming artist show. Today I painted an old folding tabletop with a checkerboard pattern.

"Life is a checkerboard, and the player opposite you is time. If you hesitate before moving, or neglect to move promptly, your men will be wiped off the board by time. You are playing against a partner who will not tolerate indecision!"
