Frida and Me

Last week I was on vacation. Nothing too big planned just rest. My husband and I decided to take a day trip to San Francisco to visit the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
It is about a 4 hr drive there so not too bad to do a day trip turn-around trip. We saw several new pictures in the "Steins Collection" - a lot of Picasso and Matisse paintings I had only seen in books. That alone was worth the trip.
Part of the muesums permenent collection is the painting by Frida Kalho " Frida y Diego Rivera" . A painting she did in San Francisco just after the two were married. It was the first Frida Kalho painting I every saw several years ago ( long before the movie) and I just had an immediate connection to her art and what she was expressing.
As I had taken a photo ( with my new iPhone - no flash) of my husband and one of his favorites by Jackson Pollock, I thought a picture of me and Frida's painting would be nice. Now my husband can paint and is a very good artist himself but, he can't shoot a decent picture for nothing so this one is a little blurry and not centered at all but I was still happy to have the picture.

I sent a copy to my youngest (18yr) on my new iPhone to show her the old folks can still have fun. Her reply to me was
" ha ha , your weird scarf twin :-) "
I hadn't even noticed! I just liked the picture. By this time of the day my scarf had become completly disheveled and wrapped up in gear ( audio tour set for the muesem - my purse ) so it was not very impressive looking.
Here is what the shawl should have looked liked
Oh well, thats my Frida and me story.

He is pretty "old school" when it comes to electronics so I was pretty proud he could snap the shot with the iPhone.

That scarf is gorgeous!
At least your hubby doesn't chop your head off.
