Paint Your Pain

Frida Kahlo

July 6, 1907- July 13, 1954

When I think of how important it is 

 to be self expressive through out artwork...

there is only one artist that comes to mind

Frida Kahlo

***

At the age of 18 

Frida Kahlo

 was in a devastating bus accident,

that left her with a lifetime of pain.

While bed-ridden in a body cast she began to paint,

addressing the issues of her fractured body 

and 

the pain that was inflicted upon her.

***

Frida Kahlo 

underwent more that thirty operations in the course of her lifetime.

Her self portraits were her main subject.

Frida's paintings were related to her experiences with both...

physical 

and 

psychological pain.

***

Life holds many issues...

It's not always pretty.

It is through self expression, that we can work it out.

Having the courage to bring it forward...

recognize it and own it.

***

As an artist,

women,

and 

someone who can relate to daily pain...

When I think of, who do I admire, as an artist...

only one name comes to mind!

If there was anyone I could bring to a party...

Since I am on the subject of Frida

 I want to share with you 

this wonderful find!

Over this weekend...

My husband and I took the family out to lunch.

We strolled around afterwards and came across 

this charming little thrifty/vintage shop.

What a sweet treasure I found!
