Like the guys you see on the World Series of Poker this monkey is ready to play. Can you guess what cards he is holding.
I have to admit my wife often joins me on the hunt for props for new paintings. Though I prefer to paint vintage toys I am not bothered by using new trinkets to express my concepts. On one such trip she suggested I paint a sock monkey playing poker like the people on tv. Instead of poker I wanted to the game many of us have played in childhood to further enhance the concept.
