Frida Kahlo

 The Naples Botanical Garden has a show honoring the Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo.




Scattered around the garden were large figures drawn from her works.  Butterfly, hummingbird, parrot.


Frida Kahlo and her husband Diego Rivera lived in a house painted in rich blue and dark terra cotta.
There were informative displays concentrated in this area.

    I would love walking through this garden. I've always been a fan of Frida. She was a great artist, but had a hard life.

    I'd love to see that exhibit. We visited Kahlo and Rivera's house in Mexico City years ago.
