About
Colorful humorous painting by Memphis-based contemporary artist Alex Paulus. The work features a cruise ship with many small figures participating in a variety of activities including swimming, soccer, and sunbathing. The title, "I guess that's the game," references the lone soccer ball that is floating away from the ship, implying that it was the only ball that they had to play with. Currently unframed, but options are available.
