I finally finish my piece that I will be submitting into the Art School of Peterborough Auction happening on April 14 2018 . http://artschoolptbo.org/art-auction-2018/

It’s A bigger piece 16”x16”. This piece is an example of mix media ..I combined Scratchboard with acrylic media… I though it would be interesting to see the process. The piece took me about 2 weeks to complete…. Not sure what to name it yet.

I wanted to write about my amazing students that I had in my fall semester class.

Cindy -Ellen Morgan

Sandra Shearer

Val Cowle

Wendy Jones

Laurie Jones

Anna Lee

I consider myself fortunate to know these ladies.

They all amazed me with their talent. They all took on the scratchboard  like professionals . To think  most of the students in this class were experiencing scratchboard for the first time. The tendency for scratchboard is to draw white outlines; these ladies picked up very quickly the importance of having volume, texture : highlights and low lights. What impressed me the very most was they had their own signature, their own unique style …No two students are like and I love that.

I love watching people discovering scratchboard and falling in love with it as much as I do.

I should all so point out that Cindy-Ellen Morgan and Sandra Shearer have been me since the beginning . They are truly master at scratchboard.

I should  note we are missing one amazing student piece  Anna Lee stay tune for her piece.

Finally the cards are done…This is something I now can take off my artist bucket list.:

Here are  56 Minor Arcana cards.  I choose the suits images according to my Logo….

well not so much Wands suit…

Danari- Pentacles, Coppe – Cups, Sword -Spade,Bastoni -Wands

I’ve always had a fixation for tarot cards. I don’t necessarily believe in magic behind them and I don’t think they are voodoo either . I’ve always been in love with the images on the cards.

Some cards have a magnificent Medieval looking pictures some have engraving . The card tells show you history of art. Originally tarot cards were a game call ” Tarocchini”… Matter of fact the cards look very much like the Italian playing cards.

So I have decided to make my own tarot cards. I have the Major Arcana done …Now I to get the Minor Arcana done. I’ll be hoping that I’ll have this all done by July  2017 .

I’ll be selling them in beautiful wood boxes there have personalize scratchboard on top or rustic Burlap bags ….something for everyone……So  stay tuned.:)
