Illustration Friday 7/14/2006 - Sacrifice


This little watercolor of Frida Kahlo seems appropriate to this week's Illustration Friday Theme of Sacrifice.... she gave up many things - some by choice, and others by circumstances beyond her control. (sold)

Beautifully done! Lovely technique. You might want to resubmit it to IF; as the direct link provided doesn't work.

Wov what a painting, it really salutes the artist. I just took some time to find about her struggles and she indeed made many sacrifices-but what an artist she was !
