I am not a split personality I’m a “thrip”. There are three me’s.
Didn’t consciously intend this drawing to be a self-portrait but I believe that any form of creative expression, whether it be visual art, dance, music etc. is reflective of who we are.
My first thought is the middle head is being squished which is reflective of how exhausted I’ve been lately.
On second thought, I wonder if the little head is the glue holding together the other two???
I’ll put into my Elmer’s Glue thought on this: I think the woman on the right with her raised eyebrow, “eye-shadow,” and self-satisfied (in a pleasant manner) smile, is saying: “Let’s remain playful no matter how many heads we grow.”

I say the face in the middle is you — fresh, new, inquisitive, wise beyond age — beginning to explore your newfound passion as a writer. The other two are characters you’ve created — well-drawn, mysterious, up to something behind those knowing glances. I can’t wait to hear their stories.

Chuck,
You are tooooooooooo kind (but I’ll take it!). The other two “characters” are indeed CHARACTERS – mask-like.

Jacqui,
Glad you see the strength of that tiny middle person – it feels like she’s squashed between swelled heads!

This is a gorgeous painting, Judy. Reminds me of Modigliani’s work. The middle face looks like a baby’s, the one on the right is a young woman’s, the one on the left is mature.

Yes, the middle face is a baby’s . . . maybe past, present and future? One of the faces is blueish in color – my first thought is “no room to breath” . . . hmmmmmmmm, the plot thickens

Why wouldn’t the middle head be the career you just closed down? Which would leave the other two heads to be moving forward. And who are they? Or who are they becoming?

Jan,
Great observation! My initial thought is that the tiny middle head maybe more my new direction as it’s a child’s face (probably can’t tell from the picture). Maybe I’m butting heads with myself? Not sure who or what the other two heads are right now or who they are becoming??????? Logical vs intuitive doesn’t quite fit because my logical side is not as well-developed. You have both going for you . . . I’m more lopsided. Past, Present, Future?
Thanks for the comment!!!!!! Need to get a grip on it and I’m not sure . . . (maybe I just need to get a grip PERIOD)

It’s probably glue! That would be the helpful role.
