Tree Tarot Progress

At this point, all of the cards that I have spent the last four months painting are complete. I have three more cards to do from the major arcana - the Star, Judgment, and Death. These cards are conceptualized and sketched and will be painted over the holidays.

After that, I will begin on the suit of wands. More updates to come soon!

Wow! This deck is just blowing me away. I've wanted a "tree" deck for awhile, but haven't connected with any of the tree oracles out there. This one you are creating has so much character and personality, you can really tell what card it is by looking at the images alone. Wonderful! I love the whimsical style and gorgeous colors.

I look so forward to being one of the first to purchase this deck when it's published! Kudos to you for using your talent and inspiration to create such a wonderful treasure!!

I've added you to my blogroll. Can't wait to see more images as you complete them!

Thank you so much! Tarot dame - I'm glad that you are finding a connection with this deck. I hope the finished deck doesn't disappoint :).

I don't foresee being disappointed with it!! I love your style. And I'd buy the whole deck just based on the majors. It'll be interesting to see how reading the cards will feel, with the seasons being different than what I'm used to. For example, I just can't imagine Swords being anything other than Winter. But I'm looking forward to your artistic interpretation of the suits!
