Justice

Watercolor, watercolour pencil, and gouache on wood.

16x24x1.50"

I took my inspiration from the ancient Dieties of Egyptian, Greco-Roman and Pagan mythology.

Typically "Justice" is depicted blindfoled and holding a sword. I have chossen to depict her wearing golden armor featuring star sapphires, also known as the "gem of heaven". She's standing between the scales of justice, one side holding a heart the other holding a feather. Balancing the heart with her feather to determine the ultimate fate. She's also surrounded by Owls symbolizing both her element being air and her wisdom.

I also illustrate her with glowing all seeing eyes representing the gift of foresight and prophecy, rather than a blindfold. She has runes for balance, relationships, enlightenment, justice, logic, battle, strength, courage, wisdom & truth. All attributes of the "Justice" card.
