So I kind of went viral on TikTok with my latest video of one of my paintings - approaching 180,000 views and 39,000 likes. Crazy. But there’s some very kind people there. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8ABJjjx/

If you were wondering…Butterflies in the Sky, 24”x24”, acrylic on panel is flat. It took more than 200 hours to paint plus three days to build the cookie model. Hope it makes you smile! #painting #realism #paint #acrylic #acrylicpaint #artist #artists #blueskyart #blueskyartists #modernpainting
