Pimp My Artwork 053: The Princess of Coins

Out of everyone I've painted, I've known Nicole the longest.  I want to say we met in preschool and probably shared a hopper ball and some milk and cookies.  I still remember her first address because it's the same number as our favorite radio station growing up. I remember a lot of odd tidbits from my friends growing up and I think that's the wonderful thing about knowing someone for a long time.  You get to see them grow even if you're not always in contact. 

We used to sit together in the mornings in Junior High.  I had started to wear fishnet stockings as my everyday wear and was just learning tarot.  We would do our homework in the morning and discuss music.  The new sound in music was being coined "Alternative".  Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Hole, REM, Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Veruca Salt were a few. We'd decorate our paper bag school book covers with bands names and started dressing grunge.  We discussed starting zines. 

I left the town school system in High School but kept in touch with some people from town.  Nicole had started a band with two mutual friends, Angela and Bre.  They were called Sweet Sixteen, they opened for the Lunachicks a few times.  I was impressed.  Nicole called me after they played a show at Pearl Street in Northampton.  "We have video of the show," she said. "You're in the first row smiling the whole time."  She loved Patty Schemel and I could see why.  Patty was a role model to a lot of us, for many reasons.

She was with me when I bought my first spiked collar, something I lost over time.  And then we lost touch, well until myspace that is.  It seems at that time if you lost track of anyone you could find them via the internet.  She was in LA and doing quite well.  Radio Vago was getting a lot of attention and then big news.  She had joined Veruca Salt and I remembered so vividly listening to them as my Dad drove me to school.  I was really happy for her.

Time went on and we all switched to facebook and the news came again.  This time much bigger, Nicole had joined Smashing Pumpkins.  And all at once,I thought about all of these memories, because nothing jogs a memory more than exciting news. 

When I emailed Nicole about being in the deck she wrote back quickly telling me that what I was working on and what she was working on were syncing.  It felt like a good omen.  It took some time but I finally found the right card for her.  The Princess of Coins is the card of the dreamer and also of one who wants to turn those dreams into a reality.  She offers growth and unlocks the path to success.  I chose Nicole because I remember her learning to play bass and how her desire and enthusiasm for it was what pushed her to go further.  This is the card of goals and drive.  She teaches you to be clear on what skills and resources you will require in order to make these goals a reality.  The honeysuckle in the image denotes devoted love, the hepatica although they are spring flowers sometimes appear through the snow in winter, their enthusiasm to bloom and shine is no match for the winter frost.  Asteroides are vigorous flowers and work hard to take over a space.  And of course then there is the blackberry flower with 5 radially-symmetrical petals symbolizing the 4 elements and spirit.  The acorns represent strength, power, love, and luck.  A last the hummingbird, one of my favorite birds of all.  This little bird is symbolic of self love and always finding beauty in life.

It's downright affirming to read a story about an artist who is following her muse, thriving, and nice to her old friends. Throughout the essay I was fearful that Nicole would have some terrible twist or would become estranged. Instead, the artwork's radiant embrace of life is reflected in the essay's positivity, which, creates a nice mirroring, and more radiance.

Painting someone which is truly special to the painter is very inspiring. Its a good way to share the God-given talent to others. The works are beautifully done. The flowers expresses more than just beauty but also the deep connection of the subject and the artist.
