Aries, Gemini and Scorpio

I am currently designing my own interpretations of the Sun Signs. So far, I have created Aries, Gemini and Scorpio. Each sign also has their associated flower incorporated into the drawing; for Aries it is the thistle, Gemini is lavender, and Scorpio is the geranium. I chose limited palettes, using colours that represent each sign — bold reds and oranges for the determined Aries, whimsical purples, greens, blues and yellows for the playful Gemini, and dark, rich colours to reflect the intensity of Scorpio (my Sun Sign). The insects somehow found their way into the drawings too, and I decided to let them to stay (I think they’re there for the flowers). Just nine more to go, this is going to be fun!

Frida Kahlo

“I paint flowers so they will not die” – Frida Kahlo

Some facts about Frida:

  • Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter who created many self portraits with themes of pain, love and identity.
  • She suffered from chronic pain due to contracting polio as a child and a serious bus accident when she was 18.
  • She had a tumultuous relationship with her husband, Diego, and both had affairs throughout their marriage.
  • Frida was bisexual and often had affairs with women.
  • It’s really hard to write “Frida” without putting a “y” at the end.
