I loved that we had art class in high school and I think that all schools should. We were exposed to many media, like clay that was fired in ovens, crea stone (that was poured into square casts then carved), linoleum cuts, plaster casting from clay, wax statues, water colors, oil paints and more. We were taught to draw from life and ours was a good teacher.

Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.
This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.

It is remarkable Sue....Something I was never very good at, yet should have applied myself a little more...Isn't is fascinating what people can do in regards to creativity & the arts...
Are we blogging in unison...lol I just got an email from you...*winks*
Beautiful!!
Beautiful, Sue. Sometimes "flat" is good, and I think it works here. You really captured the delicacy and grace of the moment.
I wish I could have time to do art classes. I miss my time at the Accademia di Costume and Moda in Rome.
Wow, Sue. You're really talented.
Gee thanks everybody. But what I am trying to get at is why I am hesitant to go back to art now, after my brain surgery with my now intermittently shaky hands. So stay tuned and you'll see why.
