Description
Tarot. For more information about the deck and to see the rest of the cards: [link]Eight of Swords - Wasting energy on the trivial, frozen in crisis, restricted, confused, feeling powerless, trapped by circumstances.
The Brambles Crone lives among the blackberry hedges where the fruit is tempting and sweet, but even the leaves have wickedly curved thorns to catch and hold. The little hummingbird may flit and navigate with ease among such treacherous tangles, but the grand elegance of the Swan with the arcing spread of her wings is not for such tangled and thorny corridors.
Medium: Watercolor
Size: 8.5x14 inches

truly beautiful. I like the variety of blues and how the humming bird makes a bright spot of color above the trapped swan. Wonderful composition too with the winding thorns winding around.

I like the composition of this, with the hummingbird as the focus in the middle and the swords drawing the eye from the swan to the hummingbird or vice versa.
Very pretty!

I know someone said it before, but I was wondering how you were going to do one of the most devastating looking cards, and you pulled it off, not kidding.
I can't remember if you've done my favorite of the unhappier cards (the Tower), if you haven't, I can't wait to see how you'll beautifully render that sort of destruction! haha.
I can't wait for the deck to come out. I'm getting it for sure.

You have such an amazing handle on watercolors! How long have you been working with it?

I started painting with watercolors in 2000; so about 7 years now.

That is so amazing. =] I used to attempt watercolors...I know how fully difficult it is to control, and I don't see that struggle in your work.
=] You are truly amazingly talented.

Wonderful!
I love the lack of hesitation in trying out an odd perspective (on both the swan and the figure in the background). Very nicely done!
