What a wonderful piece! I have always been drawn to portrait paintings in museums (& PBS' "Antiques Roadshow"), but never had the pleasure of hearing the take from the artist herself, after a passage of time. Fascinating!

I love the honesty. My attempts to "paint" myself using words don't turn out nearly as well.

What a profound & fascinating rumination on time, identity, and alternative life possibilities. I used to be able to think this deeply, & am so glad to see the stunning results of doing so. Thank you, Tabby.
