Frida Kahlo

When I read the new theme for August over at Art Journal Journey  was ' Frida Kahlo'.

 I thought Oops!  how am I going to manage a page in my journal for this.  However Valerie who picked out the theme added a lot of information. 

That and the links given by the folk at AJJ got me surfing the net to find out more.

I have to admit my page began on the computer, using a digital program for the background, Frida and the flowers at the front. I had a  paper napkin with the parrot and branch, just right after a bit of fussy tearing to add interest to the bare corner.

Out with the acrylic paints, blending a few  colours  to match the background and paint round the edges.

I used a mask and coloured the  grunge paste with the same shade of paint, to add some texture.

During my search to find out about Frida, I came across many quotes.

This is the one I used--'At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can'.

Thank you for the challenge AJJ, I enjoyed creating this page.

Also thank you for taking time to stop by, the comments you leave are always appreciated.
