Frida Kahlo with Cat Portrait

"Frida Con Gato"

For this portrait of beautiful Frida Kahlo, I combined aspects of some of her
self-portraits, and left out the monkey. I just can't bring myself to paint a monkey!
Anyway, here she is with the cat on her shoulder and lush greenery behind
her. Hair is with ever-present roses that are shades of pink and red. Lots of
greens, gold, citron, aqua, a very light lavender dress.

Frida Kahlo Oil Painting

Ok, so for many years I had her Letter Self Portrait hanging in my classroom. I wanted to paint is

but never got around to it. Finally did and added some whimsy to her standing pose, plus a doggie

and a sign saying Mi Amor. Very muted except for dress and roses. 

Frida Kahlo Whimsical Oil Painting

Frida Kahlo Portrait by M.Devine

When I taught high school art, next to my students, I loved teaching about famous painters. One of my favorites was and is Frida Kahlo because she had such a colorful, happy, sad and interesting life, which she was able to translate to her art-sometimes in ways that made me sad, sometimes in ways that were very joyous. So here is a little new painting of her, acrylic on canvas. You can find my portraits at

Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe, Our Lady of Guadalupe

When Juan Diego had a vision on a hill in Mexico, he asked for a sign to prove it. When he came back to the mountain, it was covered in Castillian roses, in winter, roses which do not normally grow in the Tepeyac desert, near Mexico City. The lady in the vision asked him to build a church where they stood on the hill. So this little painting is also covered in roses and is a whimsical version of the Virgin of Guadalupe. It is painted on gallery wrapped canvas and the sides have been painted black. I usually sell these larger and without so much detail, this is a new design and I hope you like it. There is a cross under the banner which reads, "Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe" in Spanish, which means Our Lady of Guadalupe. There are so many interesting things about Our Lady of Guadalupe, just Google her name and you will see.
