Frida & Diego

"When We Meet Again"
In that first moment, when you see the face that you have so long waited for....
nothing could be sweeter. A knowing piece of home returned to the perfect place in your heart where a void had left an incomplete snapshot.
To know your true love was the only one that loved with an unconditional heart...

Sweet unions as this one can never tire of....

This painting was so fun to make. There is a lot of torn paper underneath, with vintage book pages, crackle, stain...all the good stuff. I looked at Frida's painting of her and Diego on their wedding day to get as close of a resemblance as was needed here to Diego's face.
This measures 11 X 14 and will be in my etsy shop.
Thank you for all of your sweet comments on my last post!
For those that were wondering...I used Vistaprint for my beach tote. Very easy program...you just upload your photo and...whala!
Just know the image does come out darker so a lighter painting may do better.
Have a wonderful week dear readers!!!
