Sweet Little Angel in Purgatory waiting for Paradi

On 8-26-1920, the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution became law, and women could vote in the fall elections, including in the Presidential election. This painting is a tribute to all the great female artists everywhere and from every generation. It is the fourth Painting in my series titled "The Forbidden Fruit Series", This painting is a tribute to Patssi Valdez and all the other great female artists, whom our society totally fails to give them the praise and recognition that they rightfully deserve, because of blind, ignorant, predigest chauvinism; their great failure, to give female artists, their rightfully deserved place of great honor, in art museums, art galleries, art news and the hearts of the public, world wide. First of all, I want to praise Patssi Valdez, and give her the proper respect and honor, which she rightfully deserves. Patssi, and the sweet little girl with the yellow dress in one of her paintings were the main inspiration for this painting. Secondly, I want to give praise and great honor to the famous surrealist painter, Dorthea Tanning. Then also, great honor to a fantastic Russian born artist, Olga Perry, who I would classify as a blessed granddaughter of the original Surrealistic movement. I would sub-tile her style as "Romantic Surrealism". Then I want to give 26 year old fantasy artist, Laura Diehl, tremendous credit for her great art and artistic accomplishments at such a Young age. Then to Kay Sage, who like Dorothea Tanning, unfairly went almost totally unnoticed in the shadows of their husbands. Personally I like their artworks much better, than their husbands. Then there is also Kinuko Y. Craft, Helena Nelson Reed, Kyoko Yamaji, Karena Karras, Frida Kahlo, Leonor Fini, Meret Oppenheim, Leonora Carrington, Linda Mungerson, Blima Efraim, Marlene Piccolin, Cindy Sherman, Anna Weber and all the other great female artists everywhere for, their great art, and I say to them, "Don't give up, ride out the storms, and rise up and take, with peaceful force, if necessary, your proper and rightfully deserved seats of honor, like Patssi Valdez did, when her and two other people signed the Los Angeles County Art Museum, and called it their work, feeling, "if we can't get our works in the museum, then we will sign the museum and call it our work."
