Thursday Thoughts...

"They thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn’t. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality".  

Frida Kahlo

Powerful words, and a powerful insight.  I sat with this quote for a while and wondered about her paintings and her reality. 

Perhaps because she painted her lived experience, a life perhaps not many others would understand, her own reality appeared surreal to others. 

But if it was her own reality, what a glorious, bold and creative reality it seemed to be.
