Frida Kahlo---The Artist

I was not intending to blog about this today, but when I went to the Google search engine, I learned that it is Frida Kahlo's birthday. Friday Kahlo was a famous Mexican painter. A long time ago, I was in a bookstore with my mother, and I happened to pick up a book of Frida's art. I hadn't looked at her art since then until today. While her art is very unique, and she depicts herself in an exagerated way, it's interesting to understand why she paints the things she does. She said, "I paint myself because I am so often alone and because I am the subject I know best." Well, I hope you all can appreciate her art!
