Equity  The Gender Bender Game Changer-The Croquet Game

My NFT entitled  Equity,  The Gender Bender Game Changer-The Croquet Game,  embraces the important historic change that this game gave to women.  At the turn of the century croquet permitted women to play side by side with men, which was not possible prior to this time.   My NFT has an old photo of a woman in long dress and croquet white attire and  hat .  In the opposite  left corner is a contemporary female,  free to  play croquet  in colored shorts without any restrictions.  My central  circular oil painting was created "en Plein Air" in Central Park, NY near west 70th street,  to capture the beauty and cityscape while the game of croquet was being played as I painted. The canvas shape was chosen to embody the idea of Yin and Yang, the shape of a croquet ball, the global clock and to bring to mind a time for change particularly for women and female artists who  are few in using croquet as a subject in art.  Male artists  embracing croquet include  Homer,  Tissot,  Manet and  Chase.
