few Fav's from the gallery...

amazingly on cardboard... by a High School teacher...
would love Loved to have had her in Art Class in HS!!

Libelula Frida
know that libelula = dragonfly

https://www.facebook.com/artpoop

see her/Mandy Peyrani's April 10, 2015 post
with this Libelula Frida mixed media (is it crayons on cardboard--if so that's amazing)
I did not see this as a dragonfly--must look closer now
adore dragonflys & Frida!!
I could 'not' afford this price
tho I'd been told she's an art teacher--even to help out an art class, I could not

Lizbeth chose this print as the poser art for the 10th annual Frida Festival
Artist: Arat Ronen
who also created the street art/mural wall outside the door of East End Gallery
see photos of that wall further below this (I did not put those two together,
until I was told & looked at the name on the art/poster again)

today day after dealing with the crazy rain/monsoon/flood event/historic flood...
Springtime in Houston... so very lucky at our house after watching the news
(end that with strobe light lightning flashing & pouring buckets of rain & cars swallowed or washing away like toys -"people stay home" could be added to--"turn around don't drown"--the new ad campaign in H-town!!)
