Scratch that about the King of Swords, I'm in way over my head trying to adpt the symbolism from the card to the cahracter of Vader, I was stretching it a little, as Lisa helpped me understand. The King of Swords holds his sword in a upright position, meaning he has mastery over it. Also he does not need to use the sword, because he is king, the act of engaging one in battle with the sword represents the knight who fights for the king, not the king himself.
Maybe this isn't the time for this painting yet, but being father's day weekend, I got a little nostalgic. This is not a bad idea, and someday I'll do this painting, the right way, knowing full well that its a way to revisit my past and come to terms with it.
Wherever you are in life now, flawed as you are, I love you dad.
