Monique Perez: With so many amazing artwork that Frida Kahlo have painted in her life time it was hard to pick one that I wanted to write about. I found it really interesting that you picked Frida Kahlo's painting of "Self Image of her between Mexico and the U.S." This painting is amazing, it reveals the life style in Mexico and in the United States. Your right her pink dress is one of the first things that grabs your attention. You believe that the painting reveals that Kahlo would rather live in Mexico than the United States because shes holding Mexico's flag; do you think she was unhappy here in the United States? If it wasn't for Rivera would Kahlo still be living in Mexico than? Though Kahlo moved to the United States she did not forget about her Mexican heritage from where she came from and their cultural beliefs in their ceremony that honors the dead. That's great that you were able to have a connection with this painting. Yes even though with our ups and down in this country I too have pride for our country.
