Frida Art Journal Pages 3 & 4

I finished page 3 of my Friday Journal, after pottery class.  I was pretty patient in pottery class, but definitely not patient with this painting however. I feel much more comfortable painting in reverse and I painted her on white gesso paper.  I also feel like I was rushing it because I only had an hour before the sun went down and my office gets super dark.  That is probably why she is a bit sloppy.

 The left side was inspired by June Bug Folk Art  The inspiration I took from this was the haphazard way the flowers are floating in the air.  I had never seen her artwork before today and I was very impressed by her cute folky funky style.


The right side was inspired by LuLu My Pink Turtle.  When I created my journal entry I actually was not even looking at this photo.  I think it was just a memory I had of her cute paintings.  As you can tell I am not duplicating her work or style of painting.  I also used my own words in the background and it says in Spanish "I love my cat. My cat loves me. Trust only those who loves cats" or at least I think it says that because I used google translate. lol
