Again with the taking my breath away! I love the knowing, challenging look in her eyes.

Magnificent! I am in awe of what you can do with colored pencils.
Posted by: Ellen-Mary | September 12, 2007 at 08:38 AM
This is just stunning Joanna. I love the snowy mountain backdrop, the owl flying overhead and the wise yet somehow questioning expression on her face. As if she wonders why you've sought her out.
Posted by: Debbie | September 12, 2007 at 09:25 AM
Wow, I love her! I have wanted to buy one of your prints but could never pick just one. I love so many of them... but this one, I think will be the one I will have to have.

J'adore her bare feet in the snow.

Damn, Girl. You are GOOD!! I recognize our friend and you make her look wise, unfathomable, mysterious. The toning bowl reminds me of last year's Samhain ritual at that amazing house. I am very proud of you!!
Mwahhh!

Thank you all!! I'm very fond of this one . . . and I do love the expression on her face, which really came right out of the photo session with my friend Bird. I changed her hair and nose and skin tones but otherwise, it's her.
Hecate, j'adore les bare feet too, but I thought (although I can't be quite sure) that she was sitting on clouds . . .
Debbie, are you going to make it to BATS? I hope so! My other Deb-friend, DragonSong, is coming with me.
And oh, lover-man, MWAHH back to you!

She is breathtaking. The Queen looks like she is looking right into my soul
Posted by: Michelle | September 13, 2007 at 07:04 PM
WOW WOW WOW!!! She is just beautiful and she's absolutely astonishing.
I know this woman - she's an old friend, strong and wise and ageless. This may well be my favorite card of them all, Joanna.
What indwelling grace and what an incandescent gift you have. Love and BB, Cate

This is very strong women. She is the mirror of women strange - I have any doubt about her, she is very suggestive - what all can woman gain.
than you, Joanna

Wow! She is just what I needed this morning when I opened your email. The smaller picture in your email really shows the intensity of her gaze. She spoke to me loud and clear and said "This is you, I am You" and then she brought my attention to the Owl behind her, one of my favourites and reminded me of Owl's protection and to tap into who I really am, a Woman of Wisdom.
Thanks Joanna, you have the most incredible gift with your work, your Tarot speaks to me like no other through the amazing sacred images you create.
Many Blessings to you and yours

This is absolutely marvelous. I felt the hair on the back of my neck stand up as I read about the properties of the Guardian of Air...I have always loved owls and have many representations of them throughout my home. These are the most beautiful and meaningful Tarot I have ever seen.
Blessed Be

Thank you all! I love this one too.

Joanna, this card was the first to catch my eye and take my breathe away for three reasons, it is lovely, powerful and just the night before as I traveled down a long dirt road through the woods a snowy owl flew above my car windshield and then ahead as if a guide wondering what the owl meant.
Then to see your beautiful cards and contents surprised me as always. Looking forward to your completed deck and know it will be my favorite.

I first was drawn to the water card, but as a Libran I am a air sign I went to look at this card and felt cold. As if I was dreading something I did not want to do, work or abilities. I started focusing on this card and immediately felt that I have work to begin as far as my divine abilities are concerned. Thank you
