Kitty Dusty says Don’t forget – the Inspired by Frida Opening Reception and Holiday Market are this evening

I just wanted to remind you about the Inspired by Frida Opening Reception and Holiday Market this evening at Artists & Makers Studios 1, 11810 Parklawn Drive, Suite 210 in Rockville, Maryland from 6 – 9 PM. Bill and I both have photos in the show and will have tables in the Holiday Market with Frida-inspired photographs. I’ll also have 2019 calendars, copies of my book Wildflower Meditations and boxes of notecards available. And yes, I will have copies of my newest photograph – Inspired by Frida – Kitty Dusty – available at the holiday market.

I’m excited to share a new series of photographs inspired by the self-portraits of Frida Kahlo with you today. What started as a response to a call for entries into an art show has developed into an ongoing series of photographs of women sharing how they see themselves in Frida Kahlo’s image. The common element in the series is a Frida Kahlo style headpiece I purchased on Etsy. From there, each model chose an outfit and props to work with. The series has been great fun to create and all the photographs are true collaborations between the models and me.

Two of the photographs in the series – Inspired by Frida – Blue RiverDream and Kitty Dusty  and Inspired by Frida – Dakota Snow – will be on exhibit as part of the Inspired by Frida show at Artists & Makers Studios I, 11810 Parklawn Drive  in Rockville, Maryland from December 7 – 22.

If you haven’t started your shopping yet, here are a few people who a 2019 Beautiful Flowers calendar would be perfect for

5. Your Friend who Loves to Garden. You know the one. Her garden looks spectacular all season long. In the winter she pours over seed catalogs planning how to expand her garden. Or perhaps one of your gardening friends has downsized to a smaller place and is missing her garden. Wouldn’t she love a calendar with beautiful flowers to remind her of nature’s beauty all year long.

4. Your Group of Girlfriends. The ones you meet for lunch in December for a holiday gift exchange – and there’s a price limit of $ 25 for gifts. Imagine the looks on their faces as you give them an artist-signed calendar to remind them of you every time they see it.

3. Your Relative Who is Impossible to Buy For. We all have one. She says “No need to buy me a gift. There’s nothing I need this year.” But you know you want to get her something special to let her know how important she is to you. Wouldn’t a 2019 calendar be the perfect gift for her.

2. Your Unexpected Guest. Something always happens around the holidays. Someone you didn’t expect comes for your holiday dinner and you need a gift for them. Or someone stops by with an unexpected gift for you and you want to to give them something in return. Just think how handy it will be to have an extra calendar on hand to give as a last minute gift.

1. You. Of course you’re going to get one for yourself. But there’s no reason you can’t keep both calendars. After all, you could put one in your kitchen and take one to your office.
