Fly!


More Frida. . . this time a postcard.

She's very inspiring to me

and it so happens the theme this week at 

Inspiration Avenue is FLY

so I decided to use one of my favorite quotes.

(Daylight has faded away, so sorry for the dark photo.

Even worse, it's dark with an annoying glare in the upper right corner.)

Replaced the photo with a slightly brighter one.
Still not so great.


Our host this week is Diane of The Expressive Palette

~ a very aptly named blog ~ as she expresses her talent

so beautifully with the art that she posts there.

Check out Diane's blog, as well as the entries

for this week at Inspiration Avenue.


I'm thinking about all the blog posts I would like to do ~

The wonderful postcards I received in our postcard swap,

Pictures I took while vacationing,
 (Yay, at least got the vacation post done! It's one above this one)

Garden photos . . . it's midsummer already!

New paintings . . .

I'm getting around to it, I promise!



Meanwhile, have a lovely weekend!

  1. I had seen this quote when I was researching Frida. It is definitely perfect for this challenge. You paint and draw so well. I'm always, always impressed with your work.

    You have an impressive set of goals and possibilities. I'm confident you will get around to them as time permits.

  5. Gorgeous! The elements you've used - the strong colours, the quote and those vibrant red flowers, are the perfect match for Frida :)

  9. Quotes from Ms. Kahlo are always so inspiring to me too! This one is particularly nice. I love the use of the light blue with the reds.
