A Few Small Snips

 This is the second out of three of my Frida Kahlo inspired series for 2017, focusing on the emotions of Frida.  This one is about anger; being fed up!  It portrays the event in her life, when she cut off all of her hair as a rebellious act to destroy who she formerly was for Diego. She dressed so pretty, with her Mexican  dresses, and jewelry, and long hair with braids and ribbons.  She was done and no longer wanted to please him, since he cheated on her with her own sister and didn't deserve her!  I included a quote on the wall from one of her paintings (self portrait with cropped hair)  from an old Mexican folk song at that time which says, " “Look, if I loved you it was because of your hair. Now that you are without hair, I don’t love you anymore.” I also included a copy of one of her own original paintings, inside this painting (A Few Small Nips).  I imagine that this is how she must have felt to be so betrayed by Diego. A clever follower of my art, gave me the idea to merge titles for 'A Few Small Snips'.
