Inspired by Frida Kahlo's quote.

"I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration" a quote by Frida Kahlo
Frida kahlo, a 20th century Mexican artist ,who is remembered for her self portrait, pain, passion and bold vibrant colors .
To me... The best part of this quote is.. I paint because I need to...
Artist should be busy in portraying his or her thoughts every day.
