The shine from the earring stands out from the rest of the painting due to it being brighter than the other colors. Implied lines are used in this painting. The light hitting her nose creates a shadow on the left side of her nose. This gives the impression of the shade of her nose.

2) Ismene http://www.theoi.com/Gallery/O19.2.html This image portrays Ismene in a different light than as she would appear in Antigone, to me at least. Ismene looks somewhat beautiful in her elaborately decorated Doric chiton. The apotygmas appear to have a reddish stain to them, which could symbolize some sort of upper class situation. This depiction of her sort of hinders how beautiful and elegant Ismene was during this time period, so I would choose to make the colors more of a lighter hue. I would also let the chiton flow more at the bottom (almost having a trail of fabric following her) to really give that elegant charm a more purposeful feel.

A couple of his artworks for example, “The family, 1941” and “The visitation, 1941” were among his early collection. Both of these pieces were very similar in style: the paintings were abstract, however, were drawn to scale. He painted the people to have comparable, dominating features: long flat noses, full lips and dark skin. In “The visitation, 1941,” the visual point is the faces of the two women. Their expression is one of sadness or maybe confusion.

Shortly after her death, Diego gave the blue house to the Mexican Government so it can be turn into a museum. In my opinion I believe Frida Kahlo’s art was amazing.

I believe that her style gives instant connection to a viewer, and also draws the viewer deeper to the paintings.
