Frida

There never has and never will be anyone like Frida Kahlo, I think she wins the prize as the end all be all true one of a kind.  Always bejeweled, always intense, she radiated the energy of a tortured yet brilliant artist in every sense of the word and it's reflected in her ingenious work.  She is said to have painted herself so often because it's the subject she knew best and her physical, mental and emotional pain is played out on the canvas for the world to see. This is my tribute to her, my favorite painter ever, may she always be revered and remembered for her artistic greatness, incredible courage and amazing personal style.
