    its frida kahlo. when she was younger she was seriously injured in an accident resulting in the breakng of her spine. a lot of her paintings depicted her health issues.she said she never painted her dreams but her reality.. usually metaphorically. im surprised youre not aware of her. shes a very strong female presence.plus shes tremendously awesome.

    Now I remember her. There was a movie made about her and her husband (who was also an artist).

    Thanks for putting this picture up. :)

    This is a chapel in a sculpture garden called the Minnie Evans Garden House. It's made out of recycled bottles.
    (Since I love colored glass, this appeals to me very much.)

    Here are a few different pictures of it. :)

    STAYSEA, I like the one you have. The tears and the yellow, blue, and white combination is attractive.
    What size is it?

    Here's a painting of water drops on a leaf. I like it even though it's a slightly flat.

    It's by Martin Girolami.

    a drum set, a scooter, a telescope, music, a neat rug,
    guitars and amps, microphone,
    chairs, drinks,
    empty canvas and paint, new brushes, paper, pens,
    a basketball,
    your favorite people, a video recorder, a camera,
    stuff
    and those birds on the wall
