In 2024 I began a new project: a series of oil paintings depicting the 12 signs of the western zodiac on panels engraved with corresponding symbols by Trekell Art Supplies.
My main goal in mind with this project was to improve my oil painting and it’s been a nice bonus exploring the themes of one of my favorite subjects at the same time.
Starting with Aries, and continuing in order…
Aries (2024)
10" x 10" round, oil on birch panel
Taurus (2024)
10" x 10" round, oil on birch panel
Gemini (2025)
10" x 10" round, oil on birch panel
Cancer (2025)
10" x 10" round, oil on birch panel
