I must admit that before this weeks challenge at inspiration avenue I didn't know very much at all about Frida Kahlo
In fact I knew about five things
☆ She was a Mexican painter,
☆ She is the subject of many artists paintings in the blogging world + ATC exchanges,
☆ She painted lots of self portraits,
☆ She was portrayed by Selma Hayek in a movie based on her life (a movie that has been on my must watch list for a couple of years now),
☆ She had a very dominant eye brows (much more impressive than Brooke Shields!)
So this weeks challenge gave me an opportunity to read more about Frida Kahlo and her life. And isn't she, and her art fascinating? I am totally inspired by her and her story.
The quote is one of hers and it totally summed up the way I was feeling the day I painted this. Now I just need to dust of my wings!
