Adios Corazon

Last Sunday, we said goodbye to our precious son. He went with the Marines, and our heart started to suffer.
Thank you for all your kind words, during all this time. Thank you for your support and for all your prayers. I was read your comments many times and I feel
the warm in your words. Thank you again.
I will try to be positive and I want to continue with my paintings. I can't say more.

Roots

Las Raices de Frida. Frida's Roots. Original Mixed Media Painting.
She couldn't leave her Mexico, she couldn't leave Diego, her art, her pain. She had intricate roots.
This painting is available on my Etsy Store.
Thank you for your visit.

Two hearts...

Sold!! Thank you so much!

Here is my new painting. This is a little surrealist but at the same time is nostalgic.
The question on the painting is... Is it the love for Diego or is it her love for art... which heart feeds the other? Please send me your thoughts.
Don't forget to visit my Etsy Store.

Nightmares and beautiful dreams...

Sold!! Thanks!!

It's so curious, when I was a little girl, I had so many terrible nightmares night after night; as a result I had dark circles under eyes all the time. I remember not being afraid of the dark, but I was afraid to close my eyes. As soon as I closed my eyes, the nightmare continued, like a story; never the same, but
with continuity. I remember only two beautiful dreams. One where I was able to fly and land so easily and the other one where I was floating in a beautiful river and saw many towering trees.
I avoided seeing anything scary, that increased my nightmares. When I first saw the Frida's Paintings, I thought they were so cruel and rude, I avoided them. When I was in my 20's my nightmares disappeared almost completely. I started to read about Frida and I saw her painting pieces in books and some museums. Now, I'm a fan of Frida, and I found so much inspiration because of her.
Here are two paintings (one is in progress), they will be available on my Etsy store.
Thank you for your visit.

Yes, Frida again!!!

Yes, we love Frida, and she is on this new painting.
This is my painting on a recycled cardboard and mounted on a panel canvas.
I was experimenting those days, and I've been working on another similar painting.
Please visit my Etsy Shop.
Thank you for your kind comments and a special thank you for those girls who
bought my paintings.

Frida in the garden...

OMG. Sold! Thank you. :)
She is letting free her heart. This heart could be her soul, her love, her dreams, who knows...
She is on my Etsy Store.
I'm working on many Fridas and will be available on a few days.
I hope everybody is having a great time... Here is a little cloudy, I think I will drink an extra cup of coffee.
Please come back and check my blog to see my new Fridas.

My New Angel

SOLD! Thank you!
My new painting is an Angel trying to save (or keep) a heart. Many hearts hang from heaven, but she can take only one. I think, she will let it free, but she wants to keep it for a while. Her title: Angel with a glass jar.
This painting was created on a 9x12" canvas with lots of school text paper.
She will be on my Etsy Store. Please visit her.
I want to thank Anne for nominated me to The Lemonade Stand Award. I will try to complete the process very soon.
Thank you so much! :)
