Description Here is a fun progress gif! : [link]

Acrylic on canvas, 22 x 28 inches

Some perspective on the size: [link]

Photo reference used, to be honest I don't know who the original photographer was. I asked for a photo from my cousin and she picked this one from Google images. I do not plan on selling this image so I don't think copyrights should be an issue, but I did not take the original photo.

EDIT okay I found the original photo by doing a reverse image search, and it was from this blog: [link] I am presently contacting the photographer

About 15 hours, done in 2 hour sittings normally.

Done as a gift for my cousin's new baby coming <3

WOW this is so gorgeous and lovely!! It is always a treat to see your traditional work and anyone who can master the medium that is Acrylics. I can't seem to get the grasp of using them at all.

The way the purples, yellows and blues all mix together into a lovely blended mix.<3 It just makes me feel like I can die happy and it just makes me want to go out and use these colors like RIGHT now!

aww <3 thank you!! yeah i am quite happy with how this came out, the colour combo was really tricky. I just couldn't get a good magenta with my primary colours so I caved and bought a bright pink craft acrylic paint and mixed it in along the way. It felt like cheating but it was worth it for the final result!

Aww thank you! Well I could make prints I guess, but I don't think anyone would buy it! Unless I printed it on canvas.. then maybe? who knows.
