so there was this really cool challenge on face book and i fell in ~ had to create a piece inspired by frida kahlo for bohemia beer ~ went acrylic which I am really trying to practice more for times sake because my beloved oils take months to dry in my impasto style (ooohhh so good) ~ $10k 4 1st place ??? no brainer... especially when i found/studied frida all the more in the casa azul ... 1938 What the Water Gave Me ~ a symbolic work illustrating various events from the artist's life ~ so much fun and great inspiration...
you can check out what went down on facebook bohemia beer wall... kinda sorry all the entries didn't get posted by time they announced winners ~ it was so much fun ~ still not sure who won ~ but I just don't need another beer in my house at this point ;o) so journey to ebay with this cool piece is inevitable ~ hope someone can appreciate this piece as much as I do ~ several weeks of work and my arm is still sore
while on vacation shortly after completing this piece... I saw this image in real life several times ~ karma ~ total dejavu ~ like you can really see your feet in a bottle on the beach, or off the hotel balcony more often than you realize... imprint summer 2011, america's southern gulf coast, 7 states, 5 dayz, king ranch ford F150, diesel mighty mighty, myrtle beach, destin, fort walton, miramar, shalimar, homey home home and it's all good ...
have a peek into the bohemia my friendz.... ~peace ~z
