THE SUN
THE SUN TAROT CARD PAINTING BY DANIELLE HARSHENIN
Title: The Sun
Size: 36" x 24" Medium: Acrylic on Stretched Canvas Year Made: 2022 Price: $1,200 "The Sun" is the third painting I completed from my Recycling Project series. It was created on a recycled (previously used) canvas.
This painting is my rendition of The Sun tarot card. The Sun card is widely regarded as one of the best cards in the deck as it represents good luck, success, one's true purpose in life, periods of good fortune, and fulfilment of dreams. I love Tarot cards and have used a Rider Waite Tarot deck for many years. The original card depicts a naked child riding a horse (which I obviously chose to omit from my rendition lol), but I wanted to keep all other aspects of the original card. The four sunflowers represent the four minor arcana: cups, swords, wands and pentacles. Intuitive arts are subject to interpretation, but when I read the cards for myself, cups generally represent love and emotions; swords represent challenges; wands are associated with change and new ideas; and pentacles deal with money and finances. Every so often I get the itch to paint something super detailed - like the mandalas in the sun and sunflowers. This piece took a verrrrry long time to complete! I filmed the creation of this painting from start-to-finish and you can watch the video on my YouTube channel. Edges are finished with clean black paint. The canvas has a wire on the back so it is ready to hang. This painting has been signed by the artist on the front and back. |
