This painting began as two figures I saw as male and female. As the piece progressed, I realized I was painting a self portrait with two different versions of myself - a younger me on the left (when I had short hair) and me now on the right, or maybe me in the future? Either way, it sort of hearkens back to a painting I made for our final show in college seen below. Still contemplating identity, still questioning if I will be a mother someday or not. Ten years later, still wondering what kind of woman I'll become...

Self Portrait Thursday - May 3, 2007

selfportrait thursday - may 3, 2007, originally uploaded by jtorrant.

This is my first week posting in the flickr group, Self Portrait Thursday. I took this digital picture of myself around 10 pm. The eye on the right was drawn with a sharpie on the back of a business card that I'm holding up to my face. My hair is in it's usual state - knotted on the top of my head in a wacky bun. Obviously, I played with the original photograph, making it black and white and then adding funky filters.

Please post a link in your comment to your self portrait if you also contribute in this group - thanks!
