Last weekend in Scotland wasn't the best (weather wise). I took this photo last Sunday evening, before clouds come back. I was very lucky to be there at this time!
Fidra island consists of three sections; a hill at one end with the lighthouse on it; a low lying section in the middle, effectively an isthmus; and a rocky stack at the other end.

“I paint flowers so they will not die.”
~Frida Kahlo
this is my tribute and interpretation of this artist whose life and art always fascinated me. It came from the heart. It took me one week to try to render her unstoppable spirit ,vibrant passion, love for color and her Mexican heritage.
Mexican artist Frida Kahlo is remembered for her self-portraits, pain and passion, and bold, vibrant colors. She is celebrated in Mexico for her attention to Mexican and indigenous culture and by feminists for her depiction of the female experience and form.
Kahlo, who suffered from polio as a child, nearly died in a bus accident as a teenager. She suffered multiple fractures of her spine, collarbone and ribs, a shattered pelvis, broken foot and dislocated shoulder. She began to focus heavily on painting while recovering in a body cast. In her lifetime, she had 30 operations.
Life experience is a common theme in Kahlo's approximately 200 paintings, sketches and drawings. Her physical and emotional pain are depicted starkly on canvases, as is her turbulent relationship with her husband, fellow artist Diego Rivera, who she married twice. Of her 143 paintings, 55 are self-portraits.
A tribute to Frida, this Dios De Muertes cake was filled with a yelow corn massa cake, and layered with cinnamon and cayanne spiked chocolate ganache.

Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera on the sidewalk. They were both famous artists of the early 20th century.
Based on the famous Frida Kahlo painting "The Two Fridas (Las dos Fridas)" this mural is titled "Soldaderas (Women Soldiers)"and presents Frida Kahlo seated next to the Puerto Rican poet Julia de Burgos.
From the artist Yasmin Hernandez's website "Both women shared a profound love for their respective homelands of Mexico and Puerto Rico, appreciated and upheld revolutionary ideals, and embodied a feminist outlook. They suffered similar struggles and worked to overturn injustice. At a time in which their male counter parts did not delve into personal issues in their poetry and art, de Burgos and Kahlo unapologetically made the personal political. I view these women not only as contemporaries, but as soul sisters, battling the same challenges though hailing from different countries.
In a poetic twist, Julia de Burgos passed away on Frida Kahlo’s birthday. They died almost exactly one year apart. To mark this historic date in the legacy of these incredible mujeres, the mural unveiled with a commemorative event on July 6, 2011 at the Modesto Flores Community Garden in East Harlem.
Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-54) painted by French artist Zabou in East London. This replaces another piece by Zabou that lasted for several years on this wall...
Frida's father Guillermo Kahlo was a professional photographer. He took this photo of his 11 year old daughter.

A sneak peak from a Frida inspired shoot I did last week with Bay Area stylist JJ Cortez
Illuminated assemblage.
This is my favorite picture of Frida. I mean how many times have you found yourself squatting down in an alley, smoking a cigarette and petting a fawn?
This piece is covered in cut up botanicals, a bit of rusted screen, a little metal shrine with different images from her paintings pieced together and fabric and twine.
The image of the heart milagro which says "Te Amo Mucho" is only visible when the light is on.
