Paintings of the Four Aces

[Elnor]

Well, I finally finished the last one today!

Some of you asked me to post photos of the set when they were completed, so here are links to the images...

Ace of Gaia: Source of Life


Ace of the Seas: Giver of Life


Ace of Heaven: Breath of Life


Ace of Fire: Spark of Life


They are all done in watercolour.... I am in awe of anyone who attempts to do an entire deck- this is quite enough for me!
Hope you like them.

They are beautiful Elnor!! My favourite is the Ace of Heaven!

Wonderful hands! (I haven't learn how to draw hands properly yet, they are too much for me! I need to practice more)

Great!!

Wow. There are so many things I want to say about your paintings, Elnor!

But I am sitting here absolutely speechless!



Your watercolor work is extraordinary! You are certainly a master of the medium!

These are so beautiful... dazzling...luminous!

And the spiritual symbolism is perfect!

I would LOVE to see more cards in your style. I simply adore all the spirals, the gorgeous colors and the combination of realism and stylized.

Just incredible work.

The cards are gorgeous! I love the details and the way the paintings just glow. I am in awe.

My goodness Elnor, these are awesome! I don't know which one I like best... they are all so lovely. Maybe after you rest awhile you'll get bored and paint some more!

Hi Elnor

Just viewed your Aces and they are truly magical, well done. I know exactly how hard it is to achieve this as I have done the same myself. I have been painting my tarot on and off, time permitting, for two years now.
Watercolour is a very difficult medium, very unforgiving if you make a mistake.
A fantastic achievement, they are lovely.

You mean this won't be a complete deck someday? Please Please Please? Your art style is very beautiful and would make a stunning deck. Please keep going. I am on my knees to respectfully beg...
