Art to heart — Linda Yew

“I paint flowers so they will not die.” — Frida Kahlo

Dear friend,

Frida Kahlo recognised the ephemeral quality of flowers — that they last a very short time, and she tried to preserve their beauty by painting them! There are many things in life that we wish would last a long, long time — a cherished friendship, a well-loved toy, that last bite of our favourite snack, or simply a moment of happiness. How would you make them last? How would you “paint” them?
