Reading-inspired art

coeur

Sometimes I get inspired by tarot readings and I illustrate the meanings of a reading. For example this image was from a soulmate reading I did several weeks ago. Share your reading-inspired art here! I'd like to see! Or draw some of your own!

That's an interesting idea, Coeur- and it's a lovely painting. I've never thought of illustrating a reading like that before... I'll have to give that a go. I've done paintings of meditations and visualisations before, and I'm currently working on a series of four paintings based on my feelings about the four Aces.

Hopefully will finish the "Ace of Fire" this week- if I do, I'll try and post photos of them.

Your picture is beautiful! I have nothing to share in return though at the moment. lol

Good brush, Coeur,

Rock star image! Great color, kind of phosphorus -- makes me want to ask the pair questions. Interesting.

So, I've never attempted a reading of another, but, was inspired in my very early days with the cards to create this:

It's kind of a meditation on the dangers of love (left), verses the rewards (right).

Elnor -- Bring it! Let's see that rocking ace of the inferno!

That's great, Hapke! For my daily reading yesterday, I got the 10 of Cups, Ace of Pentacles, and 5 of Cups. I ended up just enjoying the little things in life that didn't include romantic drama--like cigarettes. So I made this collage:

I wish I could paint!! I am very bad at painting, but I love poetry and I've thought many times about writing some pieces inspired by tarot. I hope to get my hands around it one of these days. Another project to the to-do list...

bring it on...

Sly Schehrazada,

Bring out your creative funk!

There's this killer little program that's awesome for messing around with on the computer called ArtRage -- and it's only like 25 bucks.

Check it out here:

http://www.artrage.com/

I've been messing with the thing, and find it quite powerful, and I like the sound of Art Rage Tarot!

So, Dump it out and start a new. I go back to wanting, I check for sure that there’s more to have -- and there always is. And I just push.

I don’t try anything, I just, I just, I just do it.

That's the right attitude Durant! There you go!! Now you make me feel like I want to take up the challenge, so I'll just do it. Though just a small disclaimer: don't expect too much, ok? ;-)

The software looks user friendly. I'll certainly use it and then I'll try to post my results. Hope to do something good! It's never going to look like Coeur's masterpiece. I see a lot of sensibility in that drawing... very delicate. I loved it.

Thanks!
