Portrait of a Portrait from Instagram
You’ve been #blinddrawn
This is someone who has been a long time follower of me on Instagram. For years she's liked every single post. I've never painted her, and I wanted to surprise her as I'm not as active on there anymore as I used to be. She absolutely loved this one. Hope you do too, Steemians!
I think what really pops about this one is the subtlety of texture in each element. If you look close, that is.

Who am I?
I am an artist who finds portrait photographs of people on social media, paints them, and posts it. I love the reactions and surprises that it gives people. I think there's a sense of self-esteem boost when someone is painted (even when there are mistakes or it doesn't look identical to them). The goal of my art is to surprise and spread love.
Steemians, please let me know what you think of the post in the comments below.
