Frida III

my hands were itching to tune up - or down- this painting.
luckily i didn't regret going back to it.
this time its really finished.

Frida II

pulled an all nighter to finish this one up...
I hadn't planned on using so much black, especially not with here flair for flowers and bright clothes, but with all the physical and emotional burdens she juggled regularly it seemed appropriate. like her self portrait where her rib cage's wide open and a metal column passing through her. beneath all here bright strong facade was a whole lot of dark heavy chain to be maneuvered with every step. dark colors, came naturally in the painting, an unconscious choice really.
