Outside our small safe place flies Mystery... A snake beneath the forest floor, a whisper: Melusine

I'm reviewing old projects and realized that I hadn't put together all the Tarot cards I painted last year in one blog entry.  When I created this deck, I picked cards at random to paint.  Now that they are all complete, seeing them together like this really brings home to me issues I was working out in my life at the time I painted these.  See for yourself.  I have yet to come up with an official name or theme for this deck.  For now, I'll present them here for review (or preview to those of you who've never seen my work before) as I attempt to finish my latest project.  More on that later, for now, look at the Major Arcana of my Tarot deck.  Enjoy!
