Faces

Self-portrait...do you have one?

Painted face in downtown Toronto

It would be a fun thing to try.

Last week, in the midst of the crazy holiday preparation, I spent an afternoon at the Art Gallery of Ontario in the quiet, reflective atmosphere, surrounded by the art of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.


Frida is best known for her self-portraits.

  1. I'm glad you got to go to the Frida and Diego exhibit Sandra. This access to great art is the perk you have living in Toronto.

    Also - I love what you did with your wreath in the last post. I think it is improved, and will beautiful in your house.

    Merry Christmas.
