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.

Im sorry to hear you dont paint as
your confidence has not returned.
I hope that one day you will pick up that brush again and begin to work at your talent. I always think we are our worst critics.

Wonderful!
I even have the feeling as if it`s snowing.
You must be happy with the result!
Excellent work Sue! You really should start drawing and painting again. You might not be able to do the same kind of work because of your disability, but I'm sure you'd be able to find a style you can work with. You might try, if you haven't already, taking a look at Julia Cameron's book The Artist's Way, which is invaluable for opening up artistic confidence. It changed my life, helped me pick up art again after twenty years of ignoring it.
Thanks for the book recommendation Doug. I will take a look at it! :)
It's missing something hon, the artists signature. You are certainly an artist! It is very pretty!
Actually Shaney, the work has a beautiful signature in the weeds but it is below the matting. I thought it would look stupid to sign it twice.
