Thanks for sharing this here. It's wonderful to see artists' work.
Your Fool card is undeniably beautiful. Your technique is great and I love the colours and watercolour style. The texture of the paper is a nice touch too, as it the 'fade out'. Just lovely.
You've chosen some classic associations for the fool. I like the mountains in the distance and the expansiveness. We get a sense of an epic journey.
You've also chosen to deviate from some of the classic associations and I am intrigued why. These are decisions I would want to have explained in a companion book.
The moon is very unusual. It makes me wonder why she is embarking on a journey at night?
The fool is usually represented as innocence and folly, naive enthusiasm, a carefree attitude with little heed to potential danger, a childlike energy, the unformed mind... here your fool stands static looking out, more like the three of wands. We don't see her face, so we don't see her expression, just her body language which is cautious and holding back.
Here with the Morgan Greer we get a sense of cliff though we don't see the fool about to step off, but we see in the facial expression that sense of starting a journey full of carefree attitude and there is still a sense of movement about the fool. So it works.
This image from the Aquarian - a deck I actually like a lot on the whole - I find much more difficult to associate with what the fool is all about. The facial expression is deadpan and serious (as everyone is in this deck). There is no animal nipping a warning at the fool to take care. It works much less well for me as a classic fool and if this card comes up when I'm working with this deck I tend to draw more on the archetype of the fool than I do the card imagery.
I'd love to see more of your cards and please keep up the work because you have a wonderful style.
