It's sort of funny how when you are on vacation you are more willing to splurge on an item. Last week when we were visiting Arizona I spotted this fabulous Freida Kahlo inspired piece. Normally, because I am such a tightwad, I would have flinched at the $245 price tag. But, hey, you're on vacation...live it up, I tell myself! I'm really glad that I did, though because I just love this painting. Besides, I can justify the cost because this is something that I will enjoy for years to come and when I'm dead my children will surely fight over who gets it. Tee Hee. They have already laid claim on my quilt collection and I'm only fifty years old!
The portrait is painted on a piece of canvas stretched across what appears to be an old cupboard door. The stenciling adds a nice rustic charm to the "frame". The colors are so perfect for our home.
Well, sometimes you just have to loosen up those purse strings and go a little crazy.Love, Kelly
Great find! So, you're in Salt Lake, right? I may need to come by and meet you one day :-)
ReplyDeleteOh Kelly the details are even better than you described!! What a find! I love it!
ReplyDeleteKelly, It's art, you love it, it's worth every penny---no rationalization necessary! :o)

ReplyDeleteWhat a find, and what a buy. It's beautiful and well worth it. Will you be displaying it in the shop for a while? Hope so. See ya soon!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm such a Frida fan that I'd arm wrestle you for that! Beautiful! Have you tried Frida's Bistro yet? It is next to Rico's on the west side. The same guy owns both. Fun Frida art there (and the food's not bad!) I hope you had a restful vacation. Thanks for your fun comments at my blog!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could buy that POOR girl some tweezers!
