Frida Kahlo… Beautiful person.
“I never painted dreams…. I painted my own reality.…I paint what ever passes through my head without any other consideration. “

Two of Frida Kahlo’s pieces. A truly amazing woman.
“On the day after her death, mourners gathered at the crematorium to witness the cremation of Mexico’s greatest and most shocking painter. Soon to be an international icon, Frida Kahlo knew how to give her fans one last unforgettable goodbye. As the cries of her admirers filled the room, the sudden blast of heat from the open incinerator doors caused her body to bolt upright. Her hair, now on fire from the flames, blazed around her head like a halo. Frida’s lips seemed to break into a seductive grin just as the doors closed. Her last diary entry read: “I hope the end is joyful - and I hope never to return - Frida.”. ”
