Painting the Zodiac Signs

By Shanti Isla

I painted these in 2016 when Venus was transiting Capricorn. I was inspired by the Llewelyn astrology calendars. I buy them every year. I used acrylic paint on 8" x 10" canvas. I am self-taught.

Aries

Taurus

Gemini

Cancer

Leo

Virgo

Libra

Sagittarius

Capricorn

I only painted seven signs because at that time I was taking care of the baby of my sister. When baby was asleep, I would paint. Then my feelings changed and I wanted to paint something else.

(Editor's note: Taurus and Virgo were painted after the initial set of seven. They have been added to this post.)
