"Brows and Brews" Frida Khalo | Cupfull Collection 8x8 Original Oil (framed)

The Cupfull Collection is here! In July I joined in on an Instagram painting challenge with cups inspired by a female artist or designer. It was fun to learn about each creative woman and create a cup inspired by their contribution to art and design.

Day 1/2: Because the object is cups, and I’ve been painting faces, here’s how my brain imagined the Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) prompt. Kahlo, a Mexican artist is known for her self-portraits and bold, vibrant colors. She suffered polio as a child and nearly died in a bus accident in her teens and endured over 30 surgeries in her lifetime. This pain and her passionate, turbulent relationship with husband and artist Diego Riviera are depicted starkly on canvases. Of her 143 paintings, 55 are self-portraits.

“Brows and Brews” is an original 8”x8” oil painting on a canvas panel. This piece is signed on the front. The painting is wired and framed. It comes with a certificate of authenticity.
