Postcards: The Four Roads

This is Gemma Gary's Seals of the Four Roads.




My friend Erin posted it on Instagram as an image she loved.  I had asked her to do some research for me, and thought recreating the feel of the piece would be a good Thank You.  You can see the original composition is four independent circular elements arranged in a square.  Not ideal for a 4x6 piece of watercolor paper.  Time to make it my own!  When in doubt, put a key on it.






The books behind the cards are the sources I used for my Serpent, Hare, Toad, and Crow.





Then I just looked for a way to tie it all together.
