    Any chance she knew one day this painting would be on a website with a dark humor caption? and eLearners.com touting Bible Degrees? I say, yes. . ..

    That’s a much more stable financial structure than some I’ve seen recently. Kid really is a prodigy.

    It’s stable until the other kids start trying to help or trying to knock it down.

    Enlarged (click to enlarge even more, diameter of original is about 14.6") available from here. Children (this painting, of a girl playing with dominoes, is the last of the to be continued paintings) were a common theme of this revered Swiss artist. So far, 3 works by this artist have appeared in Mr. Melcher’s blog.

    @Dogsniff, I guess no one else can see those are dominos (not cards). Many I’ve had were not very sharp corners, which might make stacking them difficult. I did not have many toys but I remember using them for walls and marbles for the people. I think I may have used my parent’s Majong blocks (ivory and bamboo).

    enlarged here, if you tap it http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/anker_albert.htmlI have to find them myself. The dominoes that my X and friends gambled with came in a wooden box like that.

    Thanks Arch and as to Joe and Simon, There is nothing Italianate or liturgical about it (Not even the setting or clothing).
