Meditation

©Sam Nagel

This is the last card in the deck I've been working on for some time now. I'm very happy with how it came out. I was beginning to run out of steam and new ideas, but realized this whole time I never painted someone in a meditation pose, and so I find it very fitting to use it now on the card that puts the deck in completion. FIN!

Wholeness

I recreated an older piece of art I had done about five years ago. The concept of this tree fit very well with the card I was designing. check out the meaning of the card on facebook, link is below...

Fire

I'm feeling very angry today. So I painted the anger card... fitting. I imagine this is my energy when I'm pissed off. I have a lot of it. But of course, it's a couples card, and about how anger is healthy in relationships and how to express it... so hopefully it is not too scary, lol.

Ephemeral Gaze

©Sam Nagel


This painting started out as kind of a rough pencil drawing. I didn't bother to clean up the pencil much at all and painted right on top of it in photoshop. Some of the traditional linework is still visible in the digital version. I had fun painting in a messy and careless way... sometimes that's the best way to do it. Took me about 2.5 hours.

Beautiful in Red

©Sam Nagel


I can't help but go for red whenever I paint hair, it just happens. I did try to tone it down to a more natural hair color, as you can see in my screen shot. But alas red prevailed, it was the original colors anyway. I really enjoy the warm tones and the bright yellow birds... birds and hair is another thing I always want to paint... birds in hair, what's up with that?... in reality would freak people out, but in art it's pretty :]

Letting Go

©Sam Nagel

I definitely pick favorites and this is my new one! I absolutely loved painting it. I also think it's funny that I came up with this idea and already realize it's been done... many times. Oh well, it's my own spin on the dove and hands thing. I still really like it. :)

In My Hands

©Sam Nagel

here's another card... I stole my own mandala drawing from a different card and reworked it here. I guess because it took me so long to make the mandala the first time, I figured I should use it more than once... recycle! I love how the two hands are transparent and either one could appear above or below the other, or both.
