Right, so here is something I have discovered. Sometimes, I am the boss of the painting, and sometimes, the painting is the boss of me.
With this canvas - my 7th in three days - I thought, "I had so much fun with Acidica that I'll do a female super villain!"
Except that my figure didn't want to be a super villian. She fought me, and she fought me, and finally I let her be what she wanted to be, which was . . . Frida, who is not in any way evil but IS apparently stubborn and persistent.
P.S. I worked in those little pieces of Mexican pottery to appease my husband, who keeps bugging me to do a still life. Yes, it would be good for me. No, I would not enjoy it. So here. That's as still as I want to get.
