I love Frida, Kahlo! You did so incredibly well here giving the original model a real Frida look! And with that background, it looks just like one of her paintings... :sun:

Thanks. I wasn't really inspired by any one painting of hers, but I think I had all of her paintings in mind when I was doing it.

We have some of her work here at the art gallery in San Antonio, and also some of her husband, Diego Rivera's work. It is amazing to see it in person. Original art has such an energy that prints just can't seem to capture.

Maybe you will get to go there again sometime soon. I hope so. I know how inspiring her work is to you.

One never knows, but her influence in my life and art is strong still... what paintings did you see of hers in San Antonio???? I`ve seen many, but the 2 Fridas was impressive for me!!!
:iconnorthangel27:
I don't even remember now. I was in a very odd place in my life when I went there, and I don't remember a whole lot, only that the painting had such an energy in person, much stronger than anything you feel from looking at a print.

I know, I also remember seeing this one, but I can`t remember where, maybe in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Mexico City, or Boston, or Paris .... [link]
