Glad to see you creating new cards again. I understand about dry spells lol. I love the owl on top of the wheel. Owls keep appearing in various places for me lately.
It is funny you say that, as the same has been happening to me. I keep seeing owls (well, mostly pictures of them). They are *that* kind of owl, too (barn owl). There is something ghostly and almost human about their faces that I really love.
I absolutely love Fortune, could be my favourite so far! I look forward to seeing the colour version, but I do love it black and white also. Glad to hear you're inspired again.
Thanks to all who commented! It makes me happy to know your thoughts.
Hello and Happy Groundhog Day. No G-dog's here, yay for a cloudy day
I finished the color version of Fortune. Boy it was a tough one to paint - all those warps and wefts! I tried a new technique in the background too, to give it that mottled look. It was time consuming but I like the way it adds an element of randomness. A little random seems appropriate for Fortune.
That does look annoying to color but wow, what a lovely Fortune card the end result is! The more I see of these, the more I look forward to owning a copy of this deck!
