What better than flowers and perfume

Growing into womanhood can be difficult. There seemed to be a criteria for being a woman. You are expected to dress and act a certain way according to what age you may be. I say no matter what age you are it is always wonderful to have elegance, grace, class and  surround yourself with beautiful things but most of all……you  must always possess a delectable bottle of perfume.

“ A woman can be overdressed but never over Elegant” - Coco Chanel


(The dress has tiny beads of paint all over
to make the dress look beaded.)



Monet - Painter of Flowers
 11 x 14 oil on canvas

I think these look great together. Both in the pinks,
both florals. Maybe even a narrow gold frame...or not!
Nice for a quaint area or over a foyer table or nightstand.

great for her to have two original Marilyn Monroe paintings so he ordered two
and gave her one for Mothers Day which was my Warhol’s Marilyn’s Exhibit that
I posted the other day and this one for their anniversary. She was so surprised!
I have included photos of her surprised expressions

Thanks so much Devon.








Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson; June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962) was an American actress and model. Famous for playing dumb blonde characters, she became one of the most popular sex symbols  of the 1950s, emblematic of the era's attitudes towards sexuality. Although she was a  top-billed actress for only a decade, her films grossed $200 million by the time of her unexpected death in 1962.She continues to be considered a major popular culture icon.

Abstract Flowers Series
Sold

16 x 20 Abstract Flowers oil Painting on Canvas

I decided to do these flowers in a series of different sizes
so this one is a bit smaller. I like these so much that I did a few for my own 
walls. They are so much fun to figure out and I enjoy a challenge. I love the way
the smaller flowers are showing through the transparent petals of the larger
flowers. This is beautiful custom made pink that I had specially made since I
could not find any traditional pinks that I liked. 




Monet's ambition of documenting the French countryside led him to adopt a method of painting the same scene many times in order to capture the changing of light and the passing of the seasons. From 1883 Monet lived in Giverny, where he purchased a house and property, and began a vast landscaping project which included lily ponds that would become the subjects of his best-known works. In 1899 he began painting the water lilies, first in vertical views with a Japanese bridge as a central feature, and later in the series of large-scale paintings that was to occupy him continuously for the next 20 years of his life.

9” x 12”  Andy Warhol / Marilyn Monroe
Oil Painting on Canvas

Sold Commission




Andy Warhol was best known for mass-producing images of mass-produced objects. His work from the 1960s revolved around American Pop culture. He painted dollar bills, celebrities, brand name products and images from newspaper clippings- many of the latter were iconic images from headline stories of the decade. 



His subjects were instantly recognizable, and often had a mass appeal- this aspect interested him most and it unifies his paintings from this period. Warhol stated that when Marilyn Monroe died ', I got the idea to make screens of her beautiful face the first Marilyn’s for him, she symbolized the apex of the beauty that Hollywood glitz and glamour had to offer. She was a household name, and it is clear that, in her fame, Andy Warhol greatly admired and looked up to her.

Dreaming Diego - Frida Kahlo - Happy Birthday 2016 by k Madison Moore

14” x 18” Frida Kahlo Oil Painting on Canvas

Forever Frida Series




Sold

 I always loved the  Mexican traditional Tehuana costume but I have changed the colors and design a bit to what appeals to me. In her original painting below she painted Diego in the middle of her forehead. I never liked that so I chose to have er Dreaming about Diego and a small visual of how she is seeing him in her mind. This is my impression of Frida’s self portrait.

Frida Kahlo de River July 6, 1907 - 1954 born
Magalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo Calderon, was a Mexican painter / artist
known for her self portraits.

Kahlo's life began and ended in Mexico City, in her home, which is known as "La Casa Azul," the Blue House.  Her work has been celebrated internationally as emblematic of Mexican national and indigenous traditions, and by feminists for its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form. 

 Mexican culture and tradition are important in her work, which has been sometimes characterized as native art or folk art .Her work has also been described as surrealist 
but Frida her work reflected more of her reality than her dreams.

Kahlo had a volatile marriage with the famous Mexican artist Diego Rivera.  She suffered lifelong health problems, many of which were caused by a traffic accident she survived as a teenager. Recovering from her injuries isolated her from other people, and this isolation influenced her works, many of which are self-portraits. Kahlo suggested, "I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best.”

This painting expresses Frida's desire to possess Diego Rivera, who continues betraying her with his affairs with other woman. But she cannot stop thinking about him. She painted a miniature portrait of him on her brow which indicating the obsessive love she has for the famous Mexican artist. In this self-portrait she is wearing Mexican traditional Tehuana costume that Diego Rivera is obsessed for. On her head she was wearing leaves and the root resembles the pattern of spider's web. It might be her thoughts that she had Diego trapped in.
