I really like the card, top left. I don't know why but it reminds me of one of my favourite paintings, which is on permanant exhibition at the Christchurch (NZ) Art Gallery. It's called, In the Wizard's Garden. http://www.christchurchartgallery.org.nz/Collection/Infosheets/70_44.pdf

hmh, i'd say that in a way it has the same atmosphere about it?
both seem very quiet moments, yet there's a tension in them.
as the description for this one says (that was a really interesting read, too - i love seeing symbolism in paintings - i got a little trained in that by my art history teacher at DMS, only a little though), too.
two women, slightly same positioning, too. :)

sometimes a picture or person reminds one of something that doesn't seem even a bit alike, yet there is *something* about both. :)

i like Briar's cards a lot. not all of them the same, but especially these pagan winter cards are really beautiful works.

I think it was just the position of the woman that I found similar, but it was a strong feeling when I saw the picture of your card. It was, 'I know what that's like!' As you say, there is a tension there. I'm really not much of a fan of Victorian art (I love French impressionism and post-impressionism) but I remember walking through the gallery in Christchurch and just being captivated by this painting. I stood there looking at it for ages and even went back to it later.

I thought you might like the costume too. :))

sometimes a piece of art suddenly has a certain strong effect on oneself, without it being the *typical* thing one usually likes. :)
i guess that says something about the artwork...

yes, the costume's nice, too. :)))
it's the paintings and carpets and such where we medieval-fairs-goers usually get our costumes ideas from. ok, and movies as well. :) thus such things are most welcome. :D
