The Four of Wands - Welcome to October
🕑 Added 2021-10-01 09:31:42 +0000 UTCGlad you could join us! The Four of Wands. This is an emotional one for sure! What does the card mean?
UPRIGHT: Serious relationships, celebration, joy, harmony, relaxation, homecoming or prosperity
REVERSED: Unhappy family, cancelled wedding or celebration, inner harmony, conflict with others, transition.
Because this card evokes messages about a strong foundation, I turned Kim and Jaren into statues in a garden. The is also metaphorical, because just like taking care of plants, you have to nurture your paradise. You get whatever you give.
Because this project spans multiple years, that also means some relationships may evolve or end. For example, when I began the Tarot series I was in a relationship with Best, and that ended back in May.
I'd like to think that we always learn from each other, even if things don't work out.
Just try to remember to make the good times last, because life is short, and it goes so fast.
This was the original debut photo for the Four of Wands. I liked it, but I thought the red was a little intense. I also needed to add some ambiance to the right side.
I shifted the colors to strengthen the yellows and purples, two colors harmonious and complimentary contrasting in nature. To symbolize two different energies joined, but also very different at the core.
Laughter is one of those things that binds nearly everyone together though. Have you noticed that? <3
Thank you for exploring another Tarot Card with me. If all goes well, the Kickstarter will be launched later this month!
Please look forward to a new video of Tannor Reed and River (and me painting them) shortly.
Love And Heart,
Brandon

So true: “Laughter is one of those things that binds nearly everyone together.” “Make the good times last” — and I will assume that for Jaren and Kim (actually anyone painted by you) this is one of those moments. This is proof monochromatic body painting works as an effective, elevated design say as opposed to just a nude person. It is interesting to see you revisit the image you presented after the painting and re-evaluate and refine choices. 👏🏻
