Taurus Goddess of Marriage

Taurus Goddess of Marriage (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus is the sign of property and money. Its natives put a high regard on collecting possessions and are known to cling to what is theirs. Venus, Romam goddess of beauty and the arts, pleasure, emotions, is the ruling planet. In astrology, Venus's influence inlines toward a love of luxury and exceptional creative ability.


I painted this Art Box featuring Taurus as a goddess of marriage.





"The cup of Bauchus" is the title of this painting inside of the box and "Poppy" is the title of the painting on the back of the lid. I painted this Art Box with symbols represent love and luxury to celebrate marriage.
"Yin and Yang"... I painted on the bottom.

Sagittarius...Goddess Diana with Silver Bow

 Sagittarius is energetic, ambitious, generous, freedom-loving, and  a seeker of challenge,  open to new ideas and exploration. I painted Sagittarius featuring the goddess Diana with a qucik silver bow. It's my version of the great artist Gauguin, Tahitian Beauty.


Sagittarius is the sign of philosophy, higher learning, and broad concepts. Its natives are happiest discovering  new ideas, exploring distant places, and not getting tied down with personal commitments. Temperance, the daughter of reconcilers is the title of this painting.

Dreamy Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20)


Pisces is the sign of dreams and mysticism. Its natives trust their intuions and feelings and tend to seek more spiritual values in life. Pisces is receptive, intuitive and emotional, imaginative, romantic, impressionable and mystical, adaptable, and very changeable. This is my version of Pisces, a sleeping beauty, of a great artist Matisse.


She is dreaming things romantic and unrealistic. She absorbs impressions, images, and emotions from everything around her, and then filters them through her rose-colored view of how she would like things to be. This is my painting 'a white cat in the magical room'.  On the table the four magical objects, Pentacle, Sword, Wand and Cup, are laid and two Fishes tied to one another and swiming in opposite directions in the vessel at the window.
