Colour-in Tarot: 3 of Swords



Upon closer examination of the 3 of Swords, I have discovered a few things that I had not noticed earlier - even though they now seem so apparent and obvious! I discovered that the swords 'lose' their sharp edge after impaling the heart, to come out 'blunt' on the other side... I also discovered (or rather never really noticed before) that it is raining in the card!


Also, I am a little bit intrigued by what seems to be an oversight on the artist part? A half-cloud, started but not ended... I am not sure whether this was a deliberate omission on her part depicting some profound mystery hidden in plain sight, or whether it was indeed an omission... Hopefully time will tell.




A smaller cloud is 'started' on the left, but not finished or 'closed.' Hidden behind the sword, perhaps..? I don't know...
