I was commissioned to paint a portrait of Frida Kahlo for a friend’s son and his wife as a house warming gift.
While working on that portrait, I started two others. This is Frida age 30 adapted from the photograph taken for the
cover of Vogue Magazine in 1937 when she and Diego Rivera were in New York. I chose to “edit” her jewelry and change
the color of the roses in her hair to emphasize the beauty of the embroidery on her blouse.
