My Mom is here in NYC visiting me because today is my birthday. Yesterday we were sitting in my living room and she said, "You know, I think you're starting to look like that painting."
About a year ago I was snowed in in Colorado. I was there for the photo shoot for my book, Carve Stamp Play. My friend Ronda kindly took me in, and while hanging out with her I created this face with my beloved Neocolor IIs:
It has been happily displayed in my living room for the past year. I walk past it every day and never really think about it. Until now.
What do you think? My Mom says she sees it in the jaw, the nose, the lips, the eyebrows, the hairdo, and even the cheekbones. It's particularly odd because a year ago I looked so very different — even my hair was different. So I couldn't have been painting myself, could I? Was I painting my future self through some weird psychic connection or is this just a crazy coincidence?
They say that all artists tend to paint themselves. Maybe?
Thanks for stopping by!
I think you look great and so does your work!

The portrait looks like you, I draw portraits and it is impossible not to have a little of me in all of them although they look like the person I draw. If you look at famous portraits e.g. from Gauguin , Rembrandt etc.. you will see this phenomena..
Forgot to tell you that you are looking fantastic.

Yes, your Mom is right, the features she mentions are very close to your present features and btw…there are no ‘coincidences’ in life! I have been following your blog for a couple of years now and who knew that hiding away was such a beautiful face. It goes with your genuine, honest and beautiful character.
Thank you for all you share.

Hope you have a great birthday Julie! As far as the painting is concerned, I think somehow, you actually did paint the future you.
And right now, I feel the need to buy a lottery ticket and then do a self portrait of a YOUNG, SKINNY me, perched atop a great pile of MONEY!

Happy Birthday to the Queen of Birthday Girls!!! I don’t often comment ( I’m a busy mom of 2 and always working on something) but it’s funny, I talk about you almost everyday. You are a huge inspiration for me and my art group. Thank you for forging new territory everyday for us!!! We would love to have you teach out here in Portland, Oregon!!! Maybe you can come to the CREATE retreat in Seattle.
You do look like your picture – I think you were inspired by yourself. You should do another portrait now of yourself. Your year of transformation has been amazing. You look stunning. Your vibrant personality shows through no matter what – you’re a beautiful artist.

I was thinking, we know our own faces so well with daily primp and prep in the mirror, but that doesn’t explain painting the future version of yourself. Perhaps, it was not a future vision, but that of your true self, the you you always are. Beautiful on all counts, I say, past, present, and future. 🙂

I have read and heard that we attract to ourselves what we fix our attention on the most – even though it may be subconscious attention. Maybe that was in play here. It is inspiring me to create a self-portrait of the me I want to see in a few months! I’ll let you know how that works out! 😀 So thanks for unknowingly illustrating that idea – and inspiring art in a way you did not expect! And happy birthday!

In any case – have a GREAT birthday celebration and enjoy the wonderful person you ARE! 🙂

I agree with Mom, Julie! I think perhaps we paint ourselves sometimes, because our own features are the ones we know best? Line of nose, line of jaw, mouth, eyes. Think about it!

Dear Julie, The Universe doesn’t do coincidences! Anyone with your creativity and ability to inspire has to have a very strong intuitive streak. Trust that in yourself! I don’t comment very often, but you are part of my every day and have done wonders you don’t even know in helping me rejuvenate my creativity.
My sincere and delighted thanks!

Happy Birthday from Colorado! I think you have always known your inside self. I think as we “grow up” if we are brave, we allow our outside self to more closely match our inside self. I think we are all still works in progress which accounts for any discrepancies…I think the painting misses some of your generous, feminine self. Happy Birthday ALL day, week and year!

Happy Birthday, Miss J! About yourself emerging in your art, YES! This has happened to me, too. Once I was creating an abstract piece, just swirling paint around. I was totally shocked when a person emerged from the paint, and even more surprised when I realized it was ME! There I stood, blond hair, fair skin, and even my eyeglasses. I don’t know how it happened, but I can see it happened to you, too! The subconscious mind is a fascinating thing. PS: You are super gorgeous! 🙂 Gwyn

Happy birthday Julie!! And yes it does look like you and you are beautiful. I think that many women have strong intuitions which isn’t weird or freaky at all. It is just a reflection of the strength of your connection to the universe. You may have had an intuitive glimpse of your future self. And it is a great piece of art as well. Keep shining beautiful!

First…Happy Birthday!!!
Second…I TOTALLY see the resemblance! The jawline, for sure. The line along the partial-profile side of your face. So, yeah, bone structure. The features are really just a slight, artistic exaggeration of your own.

Happy Birthday!!! Hope you have lots of fun celebrating and enjoying your mom. Yes I think the picture resembles you. I have a mixed media painting I did about a year ago that hangs on the wall. My kids call it my self portrait, really??? I do believe artist paint a lot of their own features because that is the image they have looked at their entire life. We seem to be drawn to what’s familiar unless we are doing something taking us out of our comfort zone maybe? Glad your mom pointed it out, and on your birthday too!

I wondered where you had that drawing since I loved it when you drew it! Of course it looks like you as I think we all resemble our art in some facet. Happy, happy birthday! Enjoy celebrating with your Mom!

Happy birthday Julie! May this year bring you all that is good and happy! Your mother is absolutely correct and this just reinforces what Pam Carriker teaches in her online face drawing course. She says that when we draw a face from our imagination that it is some form of ourself. This would certainly speak to that theory! I also think you are looking more like your brother every day! Wishing you all of life’s best!

Have you seen the Ted Talk by Patti Dobrowolski? She talks about how our brain works, if you can see it and actually put it on paper then you have a better chance of reaching the goal. Perhaps somewhere in your psyche you were drawing the you that you were to become!
