Farewell, Leonora Carrington

Good journey, Leonora, and say hello to Remedios and Frida when you meet up in that big studio in the sky. Peace out.

I tried looking something up about that but couldn't find anything. Well thanks for introducing me to this painter. May she rest in peace. Have a great Memorial Day weekend.; May 27, 2011 at 12:53 PM

She definitely knew Frida and Diego and of course Andre Breton. How exciting and she was a beautiful woman. Thanks for the introduction to her.; May 27, 2011 at 2:17 PM

I'm sorry to see one of the originals go, but 94 is a good long life. They must be having some interesting convos up in Heaven. :)) xo Pam; May 28, 2011 at 5:37 AM
