Ok, this is is probably the card giving me the most trouble in the deck. Every time it comes I go 'aargh you again'. What I see:
A painter is painting a nude, light streaming through the tall windows. There's a sheathed sword, a battle axe and a shield next to her, flowers behind her. The painting is half-done, it looks slightly different with her holding a bigger (unsheathed?) sword. Is he holding something like a wand or measuring stick in his left hand? It looks great, but what does this have to do with the 10 of wands? What's the deal with the stick? What, if any, is the significance of the difference between real life and painting?
My thoughts: A different take on this card. Painter:The culmination of wands energy, mature, harnessed and controlled, highest expression of creativity in art. Mastery. Or: His inspiration has fled, he can't finish the painting, but the client has already paid and now he must do it, whether he wants to or not. The model: She has been sitting there for ages, she's numb, cold and bored, but can't get up before he's done, lol. Or: She really fancies the painter and enjoys displaying her beauty fro him, her own self is her work of art
Not much, I know, hence posting here and hoping you great people can shed some more light
