I made two (and several preliminary studies...) interpretations of the many Frida Kahlo self-portraits of herself with parrots and monkeys.
Feel free to play too--here, or on Instagram at #toysrecreatepaintings.
Linda Sue has posted her Fridas on her blog.
Rule free!
Red Bear plays Frida in the top portrait. She is the very first bear I rescued from the trash in the thrift store, back when I was volunteering at Steeple People in 2013, I think.
Steeple People was a wonderful grungy indie thrift store, now closed and replaced with a multi-story condo complex.
Bear Frida gets my vote- Magnificent! Too bad about Steeple- shops like that are so needed.
ReplyDeleteRed Bear thanks you, Linda Sue!
ReplyDeleteSteeple People reopened, but with a hipster vibe--I don't like it anywhere near as much as the worn-down old place.
