'Moth'
Acrylic on Canvas
8x10

I'm blogging on http://painting2cancers.blogspot.com/ posting pieces that are about my surviving 2 cancers. While being treated paintings by Frida Kahlo often came to my mind. Whenever I look at 'The Broken Column,' for instance, I experience compassion. Now, I've started to paint myself, inspired by her and other artists. To me, painting works as a language in the cancer-context, as a journal medium and this blog as an illustrated journal of sorts.

    All I can say is "WOW." I thought of Frida instantly but it is your own work, however inspired. This is very powerful and beautifully done. I hope you are fully well now. This painting is stunning.
