    its wonderful and she is an inspiration i fell in love with her at first contact….the only thing missing is her middle eyebrow lol , joking, but i had to say it …...

  • John Dicandia replied

    Thank you Bev! I didn’t know my drawing of Frida would generate so much excitement. I guess it didn’t matter what she looked like, I think she was just an amazing person inside and out. Have you seen the movie with Salma Hayek?
