Very nice drawing Penny. The marbles are great and the texture of the background is intriging. May I ask how you made the marbles and the background?

What a fun drawing, Penny. I especially like the translucency of the larger marbles.

I would play, but everyone has said I have lost all my marbles.
Looks very nice, though.

Very nice drawing. I thought Solitaire was a card game ? But this game looks familiar to me...

Nice drawing Penny. It reminds of my childhood visits to my grandparents house.

It is what we called solitaire. This is what I'd call chinese checkers. I can remember playing solitaire at my grandparents house as a small boy. The marbles were lead balls though! Thanks for the memory Penny and an excellent rendition.

Lonnie it is Marble Solitaire. A strategy game where you try to remove the marbles by jumping them. Similar to Peg Solitaire that Cracker Barrel restaurants had on all their tables in years past. Triangle shaped board with holes and golf tees as pegs.
