Has anyone ever recognized someone in a painting of religious Jews?
There is a print of a painting in one of my Jewish calendars with a person who looks so much like someone I know IRL.
Can anyone relate? It’s very nice to find familiar faces in someone else’s art.
I held myself back from taking a pic of it to send to the person. I think that would be weird in context. It obviously is not the person.
Oh! There was a boy on a Israeli food product years ago that looks just like one of my relatives when he was a boy. So interesting! We kept the container for many years because of it.
Thank you 🙂

Was it really you?

You know what? I just realized that the beautiful paintings of Jews in the Jewish art that I am looking at likely look like a real person that the artist knew or had as a model.
That’s really cool how someone I have never met can have such an anonymous and artistic presence in my home 💜
Thank you for the food for thought! 🙂

April 29, 2017 9:45 pm at 9:45 pm #1265421Lilmod UlelamaidParticipantYeah, it really was me. My mother said that the camera guy focused on me for several minutes.
I knew nothing about it until I got home.
April 29, 2017 10:13 pm at 10:13 pm #1265480LightbriteParticipantWow!!! Aww I can’t think of a more exciting moment to be caught on camera 🙂
