For the Amanda Palmer Tarot project I was assigned "The Fool" card! I had so much fun with this piece, and it was an honour to do a painting inspired by such a creative and beautiful person. Referencing the original Rider-Waite Tarot card of "The Fool" - I've chosen a historic Flemish landscape for the background (to retain a renaissance flair, and to indicate the usual clifftop scene). She wears a dress based on the Rider-Waite Fool's fabric, behind her you will see her cloth bindle on a stick for her belongings, she holds The Fool's white rose and has the ubiquitous stockinged feet. I have however painted a white cat instead of a white dog ;) The central character of course (like the rest of the tarot deck) inspired by Amanda Palmer herself with fantastic eyemakeup! My own original acrylic painting. My original acrylic painting. Prints available at http://www.zazzle.com/strangeling* and http://www.strangeling.com
