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.
