My first wife loved to play Parcheesi.. Sometime in 2002 ( ? ) , I painted her this gameboard , and it served her well. She and I (and / or the kids) played many times on it. after she left us in 2003, it was hung on the wall among her dolls in the up-stairs hall. In February of this year, I took it down and completely restored it. It now hangs on display in my gallery, as a functional piece of art.
