Description Finally getting my @$$ in gear here and finishing the Queens. based on myelf and my friends, this is a series of four portraits inspired by the Tarot minor arcana queens and the classical playing cards. The Queen of Spades is a self-portrait, she's based on me. actually i made a similar outfit for halloween a few years back, someday i should get pictures of me and this together.

The texture in this is wonderful - I've been enjoying your style, but this one was particularly arresting for the color and the material: it feels old.
I love the boots. If you finish the series, I know of someone who'd probably love to hang prints of these in her shop; I'll notify her. Lovely work!

Good job I like the way the image comes over the border. Is it painted on a wooden panel?

--- ...yeah, this is just great...amazing...lol, I don't know. Now all you have to do is make a full set for a deck of cards! But yeah, great job...the detail, the overall look. Wow.

i have thought of it. i have a series of 4 queens, but i lose interest pretty fast after that and i have a zillion other projects that come first. it may be a lifelong committment! lol!

Lol, yeah... I don't have that kind of stamina. A lot of times I don't even finish my art, I just get bored and move on to something else.

best hat ever. i still love the quality of the sketchy one, but this one has an entirely different feel.

in the words of borat, "nice."

thank you! i know that my "sketches" and underpaintings have a vitality that is lost in the final versions... but i think they also lack something, the depth and visual interest that teh finished ones get. that's where the whole slew of paintings like "Growth" and "The Lovers" and "Adam and Eve" came from, but i think now that they are not the strongest pieces, even though they have great lines and sketchiness.. . .

This is lovely. Is it all painted? It looks almost like collage.

Wow, this is really cool, worth the wait!! The sky looks amazing, as do the silhoueted trees and the little datailed pattern in the card symbols. I love the mystery of it, it makes you really want to see her eyes! The face is beautiful, and I love the contrast of the red curls delicately rested on one side of her neck and the sword on the other
