Artist's Comments

(2008) 5 1/2" x 10 1/2" Pencil on Paper. Processed and framed in Photoshop.

After some of the darker and more difficult cards we've been through, the Star sends a message of unspoilt hope. At the darkest hour there is a light to guide us. The Star encourages us to let our own light shine and trust in our abilities, it shows the way to happiness and success.

Traditionally the Star shows a young woman pouring water into a star-lit lake, but for the HP Tarot I felt that the journey of the first-years across the lake to the school would make a good syumbol for the meaning of the card.

The journey may be dark and scary, but at the end of it all there are welcoming lights, brightness, warmth and good food. And once you are there you can discover your own talents, learn and grow, find friends and encouragement along the way.

I love you did this card. The stars remind me much of a Starry Night by Vincent Vangoh (one of my fav paintings). The castle is so well done and the children riding in the boats is a perfect a lovely setting for your card. :star: :star::star::star::star:

Awesome in every way. Composition, content, exposition, all of it. :love:
