So Frida kept me up into the wee small hours painting once more last night. She let me know in no uncertain terms that she did not like how naff and Disney I had her looking, so we alchemized the background... we layered, smudged, washed, scraped back, peeled and scarred the background. It felt congruent with the life she had.... the scars she held. We are liking this piece a LOT more now! Just deciding whether to paint over that green shadow on the left side of her face. I am rather liking the fact that she looks semi submerged under water. A little along the lines of her bathtub painting. Still to shade and detail her arms and the deer but almost there!
