Thanks for the input! That's why I started with the minors, I felt like I had more artistic freedom. I was reading up on the card when I noticed that there was very little deviation from the RWS. From my point of view, I didn't see the heart aspect as integral to the meaning of the card, however I didn't want to handicap the card by leaving too much out. I feel my interpretation of the image will enhance the card without requiring a direct reference to the heart.
All of this angst over balance and twos has lead me to another quandary. The two of cups is the only two card that has more than one person in the picture. Should I balance this by incorporating another person into the two of wands or should I remove the extra person from the two of cups? I always felt that the two of wands was lacking in substance and the addition of a second figure would enhance the card's meaning. Conversely, I am having difficulty envisioning the two of cups with only a single figure without it becoming a copy of the two of coins. *sigh*
