e and Sadness
Lov
I saw Frida Kahlo’s painting about a young
woman and her love of nature on a huge poster
during Hispanic Heritage month at Carlos
Rosario International Public Charter School
inside the cafeteria. She is a young and loving
woman. She is thinking about something else.
She looks sad. She never smiles and her lips are
pursed together. Her eyes are looking down
and far away. Frida is surrounded by nature
which she loves: tropical plants, vases with
exotic flowers, a big house with big windows,
and monkeys as her pets. She loved her house
where she lived and painting. Frida expressed
her love and sadness by painting that which
she loved the most and how her life was sad.
