Frida's Fig Tree

What a busy day. I have been painting, painting, painting. This painting is an homage to Frida Kahlo. I visited her home outside of Mexico City. In her garden was a fig tree and the leaves were backlit with an amazing blue wall behind them. Frida Kahlo decorated her house and garden, so she picked this in incredible blue for the wall. The figs glowed against the wall.
