La Casa Azul

This is the last painting to complete my 2017 series of 3 Frida Kahlo inspired pieces.  all 3 paintings, this year, represent an emotion of Frida, and this one is about love.  I wanted to put her and Diego in the happiest place, which was their home, La Casa Azul. I pictured them in their courtyard garden, holding one another.   In my vision of the painting, I saw some sort of alter in the courtyard, that I wanted to insert another one of my tiki men on top, right above them.  I was shocked, when I began researching images of the real "Casa Azul" and discovered that there is actually a mini pyramid in the courtyard. I had no idea!  It was perfect to then place my tiki man on top and looked exactly like how I had envisioned it.  It's crazy, how things fall into alignment when you just listen to your inner intuition about things.  I felt like Frida herself was instructing and guiding my hands when it came to creating this series. ​​
