On beige felt. Three men: r.r. guy (Otto) and two others playing checkers by a black pot-bellied stove. One cat, as well as details of store’s supplies (spices, fabrics, brooms, fruits, pickle barrels, coffee, tea, oil lamps, etc. The men’s names are Otto, Joe, & Ray (on hats & clothes). Floor is wooden & there’s a door leading to another room on the left. Details even include shadows of objects & metallic paint for metal teapots. Colors: browns, browinsh-red, blues & greens. Not real bright. There’s a square, wooden column on left. Size: about 3 1/2′ by 2 1/2′. Simple wooden frame. One man is smoking a pipe & wearing work boots like my granddad’s (brown with a hoop to help pull them on) & one wears glasses. Medium includes paint, felt pen, & pencil. Five broomheads are in the forefront of the picture. A gas or kerosene lamp hangs over Otto’s head. May be like “paint by numbers” mentioned before, but seems less “guided” than those. Must’ve taken long time to do.
