Celebrate the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and paint a colorful arrangement of delicious, summery fruits! We will study Frida’s iconic painting style, noting her love of nature and bold colors. Frida Kahlo (1907-1954, only 47 years) embodied courage and resilience, and sought a life of color and art. Painting made her the happiest!
