I'm backwards.
Hi folks, I don't have a picture to post today but please note the change in my self portrait. I had a couple people tell me it was good but.... finally my hubby pointed out that it was a mirror image and backward to how people see me. So I smudged the signature and reversed the image on my profile. I guess it's better but i still picture myself backwards. I wonder if that's where some of my problems come from....food for thought. lol

I am totally shocked by this shocking news - thankfully you had an expert to 'turn this situation around!' Still - a great portrait!
ReplyDeleteWow -- that's it. I had noticed that the self-portrait looked... well, it looked like someone who looked like you, but not like you, do you know what I mean? Once you reversed it, suddenly it became "you". I once changed the side I parted my hair on when I discovered this disparity between how I see myself and how others see me. But it was too weird so I changed it back. How perceptive of Uncle Hugh to see what the problem was!
ReplyDeleteMy problems come more from food... Too much of it!
ReplyDeleteIt makes sense though that a "self-portrait" is one that shows the artist as they see themselves. How many masters in the past have done self-portraits? Maybe we have to look at them in a mirror to see what they really looked like to their friends and family. :-)
