Thank you, Debra.
It is beautiful, Bill. I do hope you sit around gazing at it in admiration. :)

Thank you, everyone, for the recent comments.
I've mostly stopped talking about this project publicly and I took the photos down quite a while ago.

::clears throat::

Bill, are you planning on completing and publishing this deck? If so... do you have a date in mind... like what year?
I expect I'll finish the original painted deck pretty soon.

Once the paintings are finished I expect I'll concentrate on producing a few experimental artist's proofs that I hope will lead me to an elaborate hand bound artist's book version that I can submit for exhibition next year.
Beyond that, I don't know.
I have no definite plans anymore.

Sorry if this is a disappointment.

Thanks again for everyone's continued interest!

In the event of any possible copies for sale at a future date, I would definitely like to be on the list. This deck would be a must have for any appreciative collector.

Well, it's been a while since I posted here.
I could not find a suitable fugue to post, but this is pretty close, and at least it sets the proper tone.
In any case, it definitely does date back to the appropriate time-period.
Soooooo….
By way of fanfare, before I go on, you can listen to this:

Woohoo!!!!!! What a labor of love this has been. I have not opened my package yet, as it is not time to do so, but I'm pretty sure I know what's in there. I'll wait until the stroke of midnight.

Congratulations, OnePotato!!!!!! :thumbsup:

Happy Spring!

Today is the Spring Equinox.
Another year begins.

I'd like to thank the many people who have supported this project.
For those who are still here, I appreciate your continued interest, and thank you all for your patience!
For anyone new to this thread, thank you for stopping in to look.

Nearly 35 years after starting, preliminary work on Le Tarot Tournant has been completed, and I’ve developed the paintings into two versions-

Artist’s Book Deluxe Edition:
Le Tarot Tournant – Hypotyposis Systematis Mundam
presents the entire conceptual work.

and

Special Edition Card Deck:
Le Tarot Tournant – 78 Jeu de Cartes
focuses on the cards alone.

I've posted a few pictures from both below.
More info will follow.

Happy Spring!
