Artwork and the viewing of oneself

It takes a kids drawing to show you how they see the world. Below see a picture my youngest drew of her family, namely us. Mum, Dad and two girls.

Its absolutely adorable.

I was curious to why I had been portrayed with blonde hair and asked my oldest girl.

She clearly said “ Mummy that is not your hair, it’s a hat!”

Of course it was!

So its funny how I have an image of myself with hair, yet my daughter sees me with a hat on.
And that makes sense, for 90% of her time with me, and for most of her life, I am wearing a hat or a scarf.

Silly that it surprised me, yet it did.

It was just a reminder of the fact that people see us different to how we see ourselves.

It reminded me of a quote I recently read “Whenever two people meet, there are really six people present. There is each man as he sees himself, each man as the other person sees him, and each man as he really is"

Hope you enjoy the artwork and the reflection on the 6 people!
