My last Frida’s Garden sold immediately so I had a few requests to do another so here is
Frida’s New Garden. In most of my portraits of Frida she is young and I tend to make her more
beautiful and feminine that she really was as that is the way my minds eye sees her. She has always 
been beautiful to me. In this portrait of Frida, I saw her aging with a few character  lines around the  eyes and about the face and the gray hairs starting to show. Funny how differently I saw her this time.
Of course I had to surround her with Diego's Cala Lilies, his favorite flowers.

Frida’s house in Coyoacán in Mexico City known as Casa Azul, or Blue House, now the Frida Kahlo Museum. It was there that Kahlo was born in 1907 and lived with Diego Rivera, after marrying him in 
1929. Together the two created a garden that celebrated the plant life of Mexico and the artistic expression of its native peoples. Many of these plants found their way on to her body– she almost 
always wore flowers threaded through her hair – and into her paintings. The garden was a place of 
both comfort and inspiration for Kahlo and its garden can be counted as one of her creative artworks
in collaborations with Diego.

Kahlo’s dining-room table was decorated daily with bouquets of marigolds, blue and calla lilies, white irises, blood-red coxcomb, red zinnias blue bachelor buttons and violets. Dahlias  were commonly seen in Frida's hair.

A facsimile of the tiered pyramid that Kahlo and Rivera installed at Casa Azul to display Rivera’s collection of pre-Hispanic artifacts adorns their garden.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 111 th

FRIDA KAHLO

It is such a shame that we had to loose her at such an early age.
She had so much more to give. I can only image how many people are

My intentions were to have a beautiful finished painting done to celebrate
Fridas 111 th Birthday Friday but sudden serious oral surgery and recovery time

Frida and Diego at La Casa Azul Video Here



The Frida Kahlo Museum, in the former home of the celebrated Mexican artist, is located in the Coyoacán borough of Mexico City. Also known as "La Casa Azul" ("The Blue House")

Their friend, architect and artist Juan O'Gorman, to design and built a home for them in Mexico City where they would live on their return to Mexico. Tis would serve as their hime and their studio’s.



Frida and Diego lived here from 1934 to 1939  In 1939 they divorced and Frida went back to live in La Casa Azul, her family home in Coyoacán. They remarried the following year, and Diego joined Frida in the blue house, but he maintained this building in San Angel Inn as his studio. After Frida's death in 1954, Diego resumed living here full time except for when he was traveling. He died here in 1957.

Love Letter to Diego from Frida

I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.––Frida Kahlo
