Renaissance Selfie

Renaissance (Artist POV)

I am Leonardo Da Vinci. a well known artist in my town i am payed to paint just about anything and everything my subjects ask for, the current most popular has been self portraits to hang in their home or to be given to their loved ones. The woman in the picture that i have painted is named Mona Lisa she is a woman with plenty of money considering the clothes she’s wearing and that she can afford to have a self portrait made.I painted the womans dress draping over her like a blanket, that is how it is seen in person. As I look closer at the Mona Lisa, the emotionless figure i have painted i notice that this painting has to be the better out of many of my recent paintings. i remember Mona Lisa said she did not have a paying job that she is a stay at home mother and her determined husband tall and strong worked as the sheriff in another town not to far away which this job supported herself and also their two child. When i was painting Mona Lisa i made small defined brush strokes to make sure and get every little detail to be as seen in real life. When i was finished the woman was so pleased with it she told me she would love to have one of her children in the future. I never heard from that woman again after she left and payed me.
