There has been a flurry of activity in Estudio Martita for the past month. As usual, artful activites seem to always happen around the same time.
My first event is happening this Tuesday at Puerto Alegre Restaurant on Valencia Street in San Francisco. The show is titled: Pasion de Frida. It is a celebration of Frida Kahlo's birthday on July 6th. There will be fabulous artwork exhibited, music, food, prizes and a Frida look alike contest!
I will have two paintings exhibited:
 |
| Frida in Fuschia - mixed media |

La Rosa Frida - mixed media

ReplyDeletethe Frida look-alike contest sounds like a lot of fun. hopefully you will take lots of photos and post some???
ps i love the La Rosa painting. i that new?
Thanks Rebeca. I will definitely be taking lots of pics and post them on Facebook and here as well.
DeleteGot to say I totally enjoyed our lunch and time together. Thank-you again for the "lonche" treat. It was great to share stories and experiences together.
As far as the La Rosa painting, I worked on it back in February of this year. Yes, I'm really happy with that mixed media piece too.Used some of my FAB paper from Flax on that one.
Take care with the heat in Santa Rosa.
We had our pride weekend and I managed to miss it. It was enough to see photos online, read the paper etc. but I really just felt like getting the last minute preparations together for my two shows. At this point in my life, I just want to do what I really want to do. I don't feel like I'm missing out on living because I'm living the life I want!
Who would have thought I could ever say that??
hugs,
Martha
