"Frida Kahlo is feelin' blue....."

If you read my previous post, I mentioned my best friend's birthday was last month.

Here is one of the gifts I gave her.

She absolutely loves Frida Kahlo! Frida Kahlo was a famous Mexican painter who became known for her very personal self portraits....basically putting herself into her art.

I really wanted something original though. A standard print or postcard just would not do!

So I went to a copy shop and made a two color copy (not a full color) of one of Frida's strongest paintings found in an art book.

My friend loves blue jewel tones, so I made a black and cyan colored copy and voila!....an original blue Frida by Dean!!

The colors came out beautifully and once framed, the one-of-a-kind "blue Frida" made a great gift!
