Hang it in the Louvre.
After fans came out en masse to question the legitimacy of an impressive Bob Ross-style painting that Kim Kardashian says her daughter made, Kardashian’s best friend has rallied to say that Northwest 7 years really is the artist.
Tracy Romulus, whose daughter Ryan is North’s best friend, said the kids take a serious art class, which is how North perfected their skills.
“The two girls are together in art class and learn oil painting techniques from an instructor,” Romulus explained in an Instagram story. “They spend weeks at a time in a single painting and are incredibly proud of themselves once they finish a project.”
Romulus said North and Ryan follow a curriculum, but “the works are original, from a blank canvas and each child’s performance.”
Romulus called for people to stop transmitting negativity and “doubts about a child’s ability.”
“It’s people like you who have children [sic] of dreaming big or reaching your full potential, ”the note concluded.
Romulus also shared a photo on Instagram of his own daughter’s stunning work.
Eagle-eyed social media users doubted the legitimacy of the painting given North’s age and the fact that his signature appeared digitally placed on the canvas.
Kardashian has not commented on her daughter’s painting since she first posted the photo.
