Yes I came across Frida's work about 10 years ago. I've loved her art every since!

Symphony,

I think she might be my favorite too. Her life is pretty interesting as well.

What a fascinating, complex, vulnerable, fragile and yet very strong woman. I would love to have known her.

You've inspired me to blog about her as well.; February 14, 2008 at 9:10 AM

The movie about her was so good. I should just buy it, because I'd like to watch it again.; February 14, 2008 at 9:34 AM
