These are some progression photos to show some of the changes made to the end result *Click on image to enlarge
With working on my Dia De Los Muertos paintings and thinking of Mexico from Inspiration Avenue's Challenge. I decided to create a painting that was a tribute to Frida Kahlo. I am so inspired by Frida Kahlo, her art & her inspiration through other artists . How despite her many medical challenges she was able to work through her pain and create such amazing works of art filled with passion and color. Out of 143 paintings 55 were self portraits. If you live or visit Las Vegas, Nevada the Barrick Museum is having an exhibit of her works Oct.29- Dec. 10,2010
Today's journal prompt* is to paint, draw or write a tribute to someone who inspires you creatively.
Who inspires your creativity? Who are your favorite artists? I would love to know~
