Women Who Paint Contest : Frida Kahlo In Free Verse

Self Portrait in a Landscape with the Sun Going Down 1954 Is this the end of the road for me? I can not rest now on my dying bed, Too bleak with the sun going down fast, This is not happening to me. Not when all I want to do is paint damm it! When i looked at this portrait, and wrote i did not know it was her last! she died shortly from depression. . .
