The Fool              24X36" Acrylic on Canvas Painting

Picture
Original not for sale. High gloss photo print and canvas reproductions available in limited quantities. 


The Fool can be depicted carrying a satchel or pack of some sort. Occasionally there will be a dog following along as the Fool’s only companion. In my own card I knew I was going to use my cat, Delirium, as a the subject. She is my own companion in life, my little fur-child, and I’ve no idea where we will end up or what our lives together will be like, so it seems apt. 

In keeping with the traditional symbolism I did bestow my Fool with a ‘staff’ in the form of a feather toy. I also put in the dice as a representation of the unknown future the Fool faces. Life is a roll of the dice and we cannot know where we might end up. The path extends into the horizon, past purple mountains, re-enforcing how unseeable the future is beyond the horizon. The Fool stands alone on this path, full of delight at all the possibilities she might face. The four suits of cards represent new beginnings.

Delivery will be charged separately depending on the size and quantity of the order.
