I have never met you,
and yet you know me.
I can’t help but move closer.
I have spent all my life
to build this facade
for the world to see.
How come you see my anima?
My inner child runs to you.
Do I know you?
Why do you feel like home to me?
I love you!

Lovely poem and equally beautiful portrait of you! I think it’s wonderful when artists take the time to do portraits of other bloggers.

Thank you. I thought Susie did a good job too, although I think that yours shares more likeness of you.

Susie only did the back in memory, so it is hard to be more like you. 😉
And yes Virginia captured me well. She almost understands me better than myself.

Ahhh. Susie did the front one of me, Meg did the backside.

Aha, I got confused, Susie painted in colours? Meg did the pencil scatch? Time to revisit those posts.

Well, it’s really an interpretation, right? There’s one from Nita’s blog that didn’t look like me, but you can tell that the photo was the source material.
