10:30am |||Painting Description-Frida Kahlo|||

The earthy tones of the landscape stretch into mountains in the horizons where they meet the blue and white sky. The woman in the foreground is lying on her side. There is a white pillow underneath an arm which props up her head. Her thick black hair covers most of it. The look on her face looks stern yet soft in a sort of contemplative way and is embellished by her unibrow. Her orange, yellow, and white dress flows down to below her feet as if she is being engulfed in a fire of fabric. Green leaves and their roots seem to be flowing out of her and connect with the ground as well as the surrounding landscape. She is thinking. She has thoughts of where she came from and how she got to be where she is.
