Art House



This is my entry for this week's Three Muses theme -"Doorway". Part tribute to Frida Kahlo and her love of color  and bold expressions- a bit ahead of her time.  Peeking from a studio doorway beckoning new creations and inspirations to a new generation of Artists.  She always inspires me.....  Frida "paper doll" image from ArtChix, doors and grungyart splatters from Tangie Baxter (at Scrapbookgraphics) and other imagery from Holliewoood at Deviantart.

    Soooooo beautiful, Lori! The colors are scrumptious. The Frida image is perfect for the Doorway theme. I love to work with images of her, too.

    Turquoise and red are a fabulous combination of colours, Lori, and you have mixed them beautifully with Frida's red wings and the 'blue' of the door. A perfect composition too.
