I have a very big soft spot for this painting.It took weeks of thought to how I was going to depict Frida Khalo in my own style.I have to admit I was very nervous as I wanted her to be just right.It was a long process but the end result was great and very satisfying for me personally.I plan to do another one as she was so much fun to paint!

The proud owner of this piece is Amy Ames of El Poco Burrito in Barwon Heads.

If you get a chance.....pop in and take a look & while you're there indulge in one of their fabulous margaritas!!

My art work is available for sale at MOSS GROTTO in Barwon Heads.

Frida Khalo (1907-1954) was a Mexican painter of primarily self portraits.Frida was involved in a tragic accident at age 18 that dramatically changed her life.She began to express her explosive feelings through painting.

Frida's paintings were reflections of her personal history,her relationship with Diego Rivera; her damaged physical condition, her philosophy of nature and life, and her individual and mythological world view.

The movie "FRIDA" was made in tribute of her life & art in 2002.

Enjoy!

Decorative accessories due in store next week!
