The Twins is my most recent painting. It is is another painting for my Heni’s Happy Paintings Etsy Shop. I wanted to create a fun, happy outdoor scene and tried to show the special bond that identical twins have. I have an identical twin sister and we had that special bond. We came into the world together and share the same genes. Technically, we are mirror twins; I’m a lefty and she’s right handed, which means our egg split late, after nine to ten days.
Even now after living apart for so many years, we still have the same mannerisms. As I wrote on my about page, my twin and I were the youngest in our family and spent most of our time together in our own world, running around outside and playing pretend endlessly. I think that helped us to be creative as adults. Both of us are in happy marriages and I wonder if that has to do with being in a partnership from day one and learning how to give and take at an early age. I love my sister and am glad she is my twin.
