Frida keeps showing up in the blogs. Her dreamlike qualities speak volumes. The sun is burning bright on one side, and the moon shines on the other, almost like a reflection of the 2 seasons of our honors class. This picture also seems angry, which reflects my own stress level. Realize I don't want to write how I really feel, cause right this moment, it seems pretty negative.
Despite waking up at 5 a.m. in a overload-related panic, I am going to try very hard to keep a sense of humor about this stuff. Notice I would now rather just blog than work on my web page. The fact that people can see our pages as they're being worked on is strange. But I do enjoy looking at the choices that others have made with regard to their designs and color choices. Love that stuff. Haven't read them too closely because I realize people are still working on them too.

One thing about Frida Kahlo: about 1/3 of her works include a self-portrait. Despite her often surreal imagery, this self-introspection grounds her paintings in reality. Kahlo once said that she never painted her dreams, only her own reality. She's also painted images in which she's fused her image with nature. In one self-portrait she's a deer.

There is something menacing and violent about that picture... the colors and shapes disturb me.
