Story / Additional InfoIn this painting, the artist combined photos taken by a friend who visited Cabo San Lucas and others of Frieda Kahlo, whom she was influenced by and admires. Here, she imagined a lunch with Frieda at a setting by the sea in Mexico. The artist often visits Mexico but has not visited this spot so used her imagination to create this scene. Another huge influence is Matisse and the artist joins influences from both Matisse and Kahlo in both style and subject in this painting.
