From the artists Instagram post: This project was a special experience for a few reasons. The little one in this painting is my Nextdoor neighbor’s 3 year old. They so kindly put their trust in me to use him as a reference and it made the entire process so much more meaningful. This was also my first time painting in over 8 months after a very necessary reset. I don’t think I realized how much I missed it. I have @traveling_gypsy and @treazytreaz to thank for the truly unreal amount of work they did to set all of this up. Getting to spend so much time making art with my friends, reconnecting with people I haven’t seen or talked to in years, it was all around special and I can’t thank you both enough for pushing me to get out there.

Painted w/ @sherwinwilliams & @montana_colors
