Karen Foss. Six of Hearts. Acrylic on card, 29.7 x 20.9cm. Signed on reverse. "Originally from Leicester, I trained as a fine art painter at St Martins School of Art in the 1980's. 2002 saw me and my family relocate to Cornwall where I now have a studio in Penzance. As an abstract painter I have always used geometry, line and repetition and most recently have used colour in a more painterly way to bring emotion and spirit to the work. A project I am currently involved with has taken me back to produce a geometric series of small works which seemed to offer the perfect vehicle for my playing card design. The number six is for the six blocks of colour and in modern numerology six represents, among other things, public service, perfection, tolerance and devotion, which seem fitting attributes to TLC and, of course, the suit of Hearts speaks of love. You can see more of my work on Instagram @foss.karen"

John Howard. Seven of Spades. Pencil, pastel, marker, collage on board, 28.5 x 20.5cm. Signed. John Howard is a fine art printmaker based in Cornwall, with a particular interest in traditional techniques and practices, especially etching. As well as creating his own work he runs a printmaking studio in a fabulous eco-building on the estuary in Penryn, offering courses, workshops and open access to other printmakers. He is an Associate Lecturer at Falmouth University. The suit of spades derives from the suit of swords in tarot cards. The double-edged sword can be both positive and negative, with power and force being used in constructive or destructive ways and I wanted the spades to evoke a sense of physical strength. Seven is a special number in many cultures but I was immediately reminded of the Seven Samurai and one of its many iconic film posters which provided initial inspiration. The suit of swords in tarot is also associated with the element of air and I linked the idea of the garden spade with feelings of working in the open air and the positive impact that the natural environment has on our wellbeing.
