My daughter collects all kinds of art and recently came across some Frida Kahlo prints that she really liked, and sent me one.
All I knew about Kahlo was that she was an artist, married to artist Diego Rivera, who was a philanderer, a womanizer; and Frida had a colorful love life herself. There was a movie made about her a few years back.

Kahlo is famous for her unibrow, and the print of her self portrait shows the unibrow full on. She was an attractive woman; long slim neck, dark hair piled on her head, her skin rosy, painted against a backdrop of tropical plants. A quarter size patch on her forhead shows a wave with a skull underneath the wave, as if the wave is about to crash down on the skull. So though she looked so pretty, she was thinking about disaster and death.

I was very happy to get that Frida print--I had been looking for something appropriate to hang on the bathroom door. Ever since the series of falls I had in the bathroom a couple of months ago, I had been looking for the right picture to put on that door to remind me to be careful. And there it was--a woman with a skeptical look, with a skull and water on her forehead. I look at her and say thanks for the reminder--be careful in the bathroom.
