About the art:
"Virgo" (Zodiac Series) - Painting by Dakota Daetwiler
This is the second piece I painted of the Zodiac series, be sure to follow along on social media to see them all as I create them!
Virgo is described in so many different ways, this piece was really difficult for me to settle on just a few key qualities. I wanted to portray her as thoughtful, kind, intelligent, and nurturing the most, those were the qualities a lot of Virgos suggested were important when I asked. Also, there is the story of Virgo and that is portrayed with her crown of wheat. I also included "symmetry" in the flowers on both sides of the canvas, as order and symmetry are important to a lot of Virgos. The flowers are the birth flowers for August and September, Aster and Gladiolus. On her arm band are two gems, the birthstones for August (Peridot) and September (Sapphire.)
I love how uniquely different she looks, and I hope all the Virgos out there enjoy her too!

Flat Photo Print (Signed)
Printed on high quality thick photo paper, these come hand signed by Dakota and ship the fastest. They will need to be framed before hanging as they are a flat rolled print. They are the most affordable option.
Dakota makes both of these prints in house, these are not made by some big box retailer. She makes sure each one is hand crafted with care, from the making of the wood frame (for canvas), stretching, stapling, signing... all done by her! The photo and canvas prints are made in her house on her 44" commercial giclee printer with high quality pigment, museum grade archival inks. She takes the time to make sure you will get the highest quality print possible.
