Mahjong, Anyone?

This piece started out with an experience I had when I first moved to Taiwan as a young man...there was often mahjong being played where I lived and sometimes these "matches" would last for 2-3 days with much money riding on the result. The sounds and the smells of the food being served still permeate in my mind. Anyway, as my sketchbooks often do, other memories wondered into the piece.
