The light of the full moon, fire and small lamps snatched from the darkness changed excitement face. Emotions have changed with incredible speed. During the evening it has been tried 4 kinds of games, but the passions do not cease. So I visualized the first images. After the first picture (Poker) I decided research nature of gaming and gambling, as well as come up with a format paintings.
