Frida Kahlo Painting

Detailed and whimsical Frida painting

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 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
