So just a quick post to let you know what I've been up to. I watched the beautiful art film "Frida" on the life of Frida Kahlo yesterday and decided to do a painted m/m girlie last night. Well I'm still working on her today. She's not done yet but I wanted to post her for the red week challenge on Summer of Color. I missed last weeks brown challenge due to a very hectic schedule and I felt compelled to try and enter something this week.
I have yet to finish the background, add more shading, detail to her hair wrap and eyes and I wanted to be sure to add a butterfly somewhere. (Added three...)
"Channeling Frida"
It's been raining for two days and quite dark so the photo is a bit washed out. I will post another one of her when she is done and and the sun is shining.
Thank you again for all your support and positive outreach. It means more to me than you can imagine!
Have a wonderful rest of the day!
Forever in art,
Jessi xox

Jessi she is so beautiful - her features are quite stunning. You've done a great job and you're not even finished! FAB!
You have made a lovely Frida! I have a very large poster of Frida icons likely painted by an art student, rolled up in a corner. One day I will figure out what to do with it. I could not just let it sit unwanted in a sale.
Isn't that movie just awesome? I was inspired to paint after watching it, too. :) You made a wonderful Frida.
You're amazing. Do you know that? I hope you do. Your portraits are simply stunning - and I love this bright pop of red. Perfect, xo
Oh my goodness Jessi , Frida is sooo beautiful - Those butterflies! Those eyes! And her long, plaited hair - just perfect.
You have done an amazing job!
