Collage I went looking / I couldn’t find you / your shell had washed / itself clear from my view / only the sand below revealed / the strands of your fine hair © Inspired by Frida Kahlo ; What the water gave me I was admiring a red bubble Greeting Card yesterday while in the hot tub.

Frida Kahlo ( 1910-1954 ) Inspired by the early 20th century Mexican artist and revolutionary. 210×260 in ink and pencil.
Acrylic on canvas. / A young Frida Kahlo flying free over her beloved homeland Mexico.
*Oil and oil stick on Canvas (Diptych) 120×180 cm / Francis Keevil Gallery / Double Bay Sydney / Dec 11 – 25th 2008. (SOLD) “The Painters” are Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, Pablo Picasso and Frida Kahlo. It’s a homage of sorts to several artists I have been interested in over the years. / There is a degree of metaphor interwoven throughout this large work which had been hanging on my studio wall for quite some time in various degrees of completion whilst I procrastinated over changes and over painting areas. / Finally out of the studio though and bound for someones home eventually. Incidently, the “hand” earring that Frida Kahlo is wearing was a gift from Pablo Picasso whom she met while in Paris. The hand makes reference at what is called in Mexico “milagros”. Milagros are pieces made of wax or ivory shaped in the form of the part of the human body that the person wants to be healed, and left on the altar of the Saint they pray to. Some close ups:

9×12 pastel on Tiziano paper. Frida Kahlo once said she was no good at cooking, but if she wanted to be she probably could be because it was really all about what you are passionate about. I think that statement sums up what all of us artists feel. It is our passion that drives us to create, and what makes us better artists.

In San Francisco today I visit the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and am confronted by a deep unrelenting humanity. Lee Miller takes takes me (and a thousand others) on a remarkable photographic journey from the fashion of Vogue to Hitler’s bunker and horrors of Buchenwald. We see her bathing in 1945 trying to cleanse herself from what her camera has captured. I move along and a remarkable special exhibition of Frieda Kahlo’s works lets me share in her physical pain, her passion for a philandering husband and back again to her pain. Each detail minutely captured and magnified by her art. Life darts through the lives of both women. In their art they try to make sense of it – its immutability, its transience, its bloody beauty and its brevity. The art puts a mirror to their experiences and it would be facile to say it transforms it. But it seems to give it some sense. Every moment I spend on RedBubble I see the same thing. I stare deeply into our collective humanity. This is our art. Martin (aka Pilgrim)

The Museo Frida Kahlo in Coyoacan, Mexico City. Hidden behind high cobalt blue walls at the corner of Londres and Allende in this charming southwestern suburb, the museo is where the surrealist artist Frida Kahlo was born, grew up and later lived with her muralist husband Diego Rivera, from 1941 until her death at age 47 in 1954.
Frida Kahlo (July 6, 1907 – July 13, 1954) a Mexican painter. She painted using vibrant colors in a style that was influenced by indigenous cultures of Mexico as well as by European influences that include Realism, Symbolism, and Surrealism. Many of her works are self-portraits that express her own pain symbolically and her sexuality.(Wikipedia) Philadelphia Art Museum, still a bit under construction.
