Equal time for Frida

When looking at Diego Rivera paintings yesterday, it was inevitable that I’d get drawn in to Frida Kahlo’s.  She’s a little more surrealistic — and darker — in her use of flowers and foliage, roots and branches.

Even the flowers in her hair are less than joyful.  And the thorns.  The pain must have been unbearable.  Jah have mercy.  Thankfully, she could paint.
