Diana Manseau Diana Manseau's eyes are like acres of open land waiting for the rain to come. A look into the eyes of Manseau's self-portaits, however, reveals the adult inside the child, the one who has only seen the rain, but felt it deep within. Manseau explained that in self-portraiture, "the most importaint aspect is what is occurring in the eyes, and the nature of the light. That's crucial. Manseau, an accomplished artist who moved to Morro Bay two years ago from Santa Monica, said she first began painting self-portaits "because I wanted to study myself, my inner self, and it's unusual that the only way of going about that is to show the surface. "It is intense." she said of the self-portrait process. "It involves a lot of patience. But the more one looks, the more one sees."
