About the art: "Aries" (Zodiac Series) - Painting by Dakota Daetwiler, 2023.The story of Aries gave me so much to work with, I have to say it was easy to make this piece beautiful. I love how she turned out so much! The story of Aries is: "Based on a golden ram of Greek mythology. Legend states that Aries, identified with a golden ram, rescued Phrixus and took him to Colchis where he sacrificed the ram to appease the Gods. Later, Phrixus, in the face of death was saved by a golden ram with wings which flew him to safety."As you can see, I incorporated a lot of gold into this piece. I think the look on her face really identifies with Aries tough spirit, based on what I read Aries is a determined fighter who is also very self sacrificing. Her birthstones (March and April) are incorporated into her golden armor - Aquamarine and Diamond. Her birth month flowers are also incorporated into the piece in the bottom right and left corners, Daffodil and Daisy. The Aries constellation is above her, peeking through the shimmering golden ram's head. She looks like she is off to battle. I adore this painting, I hope I did Aries proud with this piece!
