This week for Sunday Sketches we did a wee study of Frida Khalo.
I did two sketches, the children did one each..

Frida Kahlo represents so much about women, about people;
about suffering and anger, happiness and fear
about suffering and anger, happiness and fear
Funny, I don't love her art, but I love her story; her rebellion,
her struggle, her strength; that crazy, spiraling sense of self
I love the flowers, and I always seem to draw
her happiness, despite her pain

Hi Lenora,
ReplyDeleteGreat again to see you and your children sharing such talent. I am fascinated by Frida's story too and interestingly enough, I am not very drawn to her art either.
These are all great!
Smiles and Happy Sunday
I agree with everyone that it is wonderful that you share art with your children. Your children show so much talent as do you. I do find Frida's story intriguing and feel her pain but I too am not drawn to her art.
ReplyDeletelenora, tell your son not to worry at all!!! his beautiful fish will go to fairyland, a place where all the nice creatures live!
ReplyDeleteand if he has a photo of his fish send it to me by e-mail or in face book and i'll write a fairy tale about it! it will be dedicated to you and your son!!!
Fantastic! they are all wonderful drawings! Your children are very talented for their ages, and what a lovely thing to do together. This is the sort of thing they will remember fondly when they grow up.
ReplyDeleteI love Frida, but some of her art is a bit morbid for me. She made great use of lush colors though.
Wow. These are amazing...I feel the same about her as a woman but not keen on her work. I LOVE works of her though. What an interesting study you've shown...Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week Lenora!

I've see her as having connecting eyebrows, though I don't like her art that much, I find them a bit depressing but she has own style and ways & I admire that
ReplyDeleteI like seeing the sketches with colors, they have bring out the faces
It's wonderful to see children and their art! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletePink; what a lovely and generous thought.. my son is already more relaxed, calmer, your note brought a smile to his face. He will get you a photo. L
