Today I’m going to spotlight three of my favorite artists.  I chose each one because I like his or her life story and I’m attracted to, inspired by, and influenced by his or her art.

Frida Kahlo (1907-1954).  A Mexicana who taught herself to paint and whose work reflects all aspects of her life, from her long-term physical disabilities, to her difficult marriage to artist Diego Rivera, to her love of Mexico.

Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1976).  An American woman whose independence and big bold paintings are a constant source of wonder to me.

Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890). He was born in Holland but most well-known for the paintings he did while living in France.  His use of color, line, and texture are amazing.
