    I appreciate the defiance in the “Borderline” portrait _ the contrast of spiritual vs. industrial _ and the resilience in the “Remain Strong” portrait.

    Hi Ken – thank you for sharing these paintings. Wanted to pass along an interview I saw on CBS News Sunday Morning they had with George Lucas and the opening of his new museum. I noticed in the interview he had a painting of Frida too. Here’s the link: Extended interview: George Lucas and Mellody Hobson.
