    Constance was mighty P.O.ed when she realized the figurine was bluffing.

    Reminds me of Miss Lonelyhearts’ dinner scene from the original Rear Window. Cue Karen Carpenter: “And solitaire’s the only game in town…and every road that takes her, takes her down….”

    It’s sad to be a slave to the bottle – but when the bottle beats you at Canasta, that’s just pitiful.

    Waiting for that first drink to take effect after you’ve seen your own death in the Tarot.

    Maybe the problem was that she was a sore winner.

    The Gambler’s Wife

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LAN_TOWN_BURGM_paoil14.jpg 

    (best viewed by Google Chrome, which can automatically translate most pages as necessary) has info and links that point to info about this painting.

     

    Other than what’s included in and pointed by by the Artist link in that URL, I could find no other info about this artist. Currently, the Murray link to her married name there has more (why she currently has two separate Wikipedia.org pages is beyond my understanding; perhaps they’ll be merged into one some day). This is the first work by her used here.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #1990 (July 5, 2018) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.

    Guess it wasn’t a good time to tell her husband that he was " a couple of cards short of a full deck ".

    .

    " Counting flowers on the wall,

    That don’t bother me at all.

    Playing Solitaire till dawn,

    With a deck of fifty-one

    .

    Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo.

    Now, don’t tell me I’ve nothing to do
