I admire Frida Kahlo and thought it would be fun to do something in her style. Initially, I flippantly thought I might draw myself with a monobrow, but after looking over her collected works I decided to do something along the lines of The Wounded Deer (1946). You can see it on this page, along with other works:

I was also thinking about her self portraits with animals on her shoulders... those are my kids on my back, and that's me with the body of a jaguar. This is more like a layout than a properly finished work, but as I'm running out of time I thought I'd better post it!
Note: image I originally put here was blurry and has now been updated.
Glad you did post this Elaine, and I would say this is complete. You may have been tempted to overwork it, love this. I can see the influence of Frida.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann, I do like the concept Frida created. Trying to make my version really made me think!
ReplyDeleteElaine, I like your thinking as well as your piece! Great that you put yourself into it.
