Sunday Sketches - Frida


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



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

  4. Hi Lenora,

    Great 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

  5. 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.

  7. 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.
    I love Frida, but some of her art is a bit morbid for me. She made great use of lush colors though.

  8. 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.
    Have a lovely week Lenora!

  9. 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

    I like seeing the sketches with colors, they have bring out the faces
