The Abundance Collection is a Series of animals that represent abundance, luck and prosperity painstakingly painted in hyper detail on antique jumbo playing cards. The series on a deeper level is about his humanity plays with Nature like it’s a game to be won or conquered, but Nature is actually the abundance we desire and is abundant in itself if we look after it and give it half a chance.
Based on a Golden Crowned Crane which I felt would be perfect for the Queen card. The Golden Crane in Chinese culture symbolises Prosperity and Good Fortune. The yellow color is traditionally associated with wealth, abundance, and good luck in Chinese culture. The Golden Crane symbolizes prosperity, success, and positive outcomes in various endeavors. In Japanese Culture The Crane is a symbol of good luck and longevity because it is said to live 1,000 years. An ancient Japanese legend promises that when you fold a thousand origami cranes, you will be granted a wish by the sacred crane!
