About the art: "Aquarius" (Zodiac Series) - Original Oil Painting by Dakota Daetwiler, 2023.
I think she might be my new favorite! I tried to portray a lot of the great qualities of Aquarius: her peaceful and giving nature, kindness, friendliness and openness. Her constellation sits above her in the starry galaxy. Her hair is meant to resemble the cascading water pouring out of her water pitcher, which I decorated in a unique and intricate design (also signifying Aquarius's artistic side.) In her crown there are her two birthstones: amethyst and garnet. To the bottom left and right are her birth flowers: carnation and violet. She is made of lots of blues and purples, which I found really interesting because I painted her that way before realizing her flower and birthstone was also purple. I hope you enjoy my rendition of #Aquarius! (Side note, I also gave her a prominent "bump" on her nose, which I also have, and is one of my favorite facial features. I mention this because it's often a feature that people get removed with plastic surgery in our society... But I think it is so strong and beautiful on women especially!) More about Aquarius: Cupbearer or Waterbearer sign - Aquarius is said to have been captured by Zeus and and brought to Olympus to serve as cupbearer to the gods.Aquarius is a captivating young woman born under the starry night sky. She possesses an insatiable curiosity and an unconventional approach to life. With her quick wit and brilliant intellect, she becomes a beacon of enlightenment, inspiring others and sparking the flames of change.In the realm of the Zodiacs, Aquarius shines as a symbol of innovation, social progress, and the relentless pursuit of freedom and equality. Her story is one of inspiration and empowerment, reminding us to embrace our uniqueness and fight for what we believe in.I hope you like her!
