Description
This is my first painting in 2013. It is a self-portrait, entitled "The Artist." It portrays me, Cyril Maza, painting on canvas. It is an acrylic 24" X 36" portrait painting on canvas. I finished this painting on January 13, 2013.
.....
A friend of mine asked me how I managed to paint myself here. "Were you looking at a mirror when you painted this," she asked. Well, I was not. I actually got a photograph of myself, taken by my wife, painting our own version of Renoir's "Two Sisters on the Terrace." I used that photograph as a starting point. I copied that picture, but changed the background color, added the table, the glass jar, the paint tubes, and the brushes. And, instead of showing the unfinished version of Renoir's painting, I showed a landscape with clouds, mountain, trees, and a lake.

Excellent self portrait at the easel Cyril. I enjoy seeing artists paintings of themselves working at the easel. It is an important addition to your gallery. I have done several. This is really very good! Your color use is wonderful.

Revisiting this nicely composed self-portrait - the dark background really sets your image and the artwork off, Cyril - fav!
