Kim Kardashian’s daughter, North West, was invited to the Bob Ross Experience

Her impressive work of art sparked a debate about whether she had painted the mountain landscape herself.

And it seems that despite the online debate, the painting by Kim Kardshian’s daughter, North West, has impressed those who keep Bob Ross’ legacy alive, so much so that they are eager to cultivate his talent.

According to TMZ reports on Monday, the seven-year-old received an invitation to visit the Bob Ross Experience in Muncie, Indiana.

Sarah Strohl, who works at Bob Ross Inc, told the publication that they are thrilled that the late painter has had such an influence on a new generation of children like North.

She added that if North accepted the invitation, she would be able to see the artist’s work up close, as well as enjoy a special class teaching him about Ross’s wet-on-wet technique.

Earlier this month, Kim spoke out in defense of her daughter, informing fans that they did not believe she had painted the artwork she had done.

“My daughter and her best friend are taking a serious oil painting course, where their talents and creativity are being encouraged and nurtured,” Kim, 40, wrote in her stories on Instagram.

The reality show star shared a photo of the painting in her Instagram stories earlier with the caption: ‘My little artist from the North’.

The painting has already been compared by some to a work of art that the famous TV artist Ross would have created.

Almost immediately, some on Twitter expressed their disbelief that the striking painting was created by Kim and Kanye West’s eldest daughter.

After much debate about the validity of the painting – with many comments suggesting that Kim’s son was not responsible for the painting – she added: ‘How dare you see children doing incredible things and then try to accuse them of NOT being incredible!?! ? ! ‘

‘Please stop being ashamed of the negativity and allow each child to be GREAT !!! PAINTED WEST NORTH THAT PERIOTDDDDDABCDEFGZFDT !!!!!!! ‘

Others jumped to his defense, including Kim’s best friend, Tracy Romulus, and the daughter of the woman who taught North how to paint the artwork.

‘I should work, but I can’t stop thinking about how the Northwest didn’t paint it,’ wrote one person next to a screenshot of the painting.

‘Are you telling me that North West is here drawing like Bob Ross … and I’m still here drawing stick figures at 25?!?’ another skeptical Twitter user posted.

Another person interrupted: ‘Kim Kardashian’s son didn’t paint that. You can even see the photo store subscription. And even if you don’t, it’s Kim K, so you have to take everything she says with a spoon of salt.

Some online critics have even questioned North’s signature in the painting’s corner, claiming it was fake.

‘When you zoom in, you can see the border on the transparent “North =)”,’ one person observed, while another observed ‘Why does it look like this when you zoom in …. hmmm …’

Others, however, declared that painting was definitely within the reach of a seven-year-old’s abilities.

Kim’s friend Tracy Romulus, whose daughter Ryan is North’s best friend, came to E! the defense of the star, revealing that his daughters take the same art classes together.

She insisted that the artwork was original because students start from a blank canvas and spend weeks doing it.

“I have to comment, but adults are putting a lot of energy into questioning whether my daughter and her best friend really painted the works we proudly share as parents,” said Romulus in his Instagram stories.

‘The two girls are in art class together and learning oil painting techniques from an instructor.

“They spend weeks on a single painting and are incredibly proud of themselves when they complete a project.”

She added that the girls start with a blank canvas and ‘the works are original’.

“They follow a curriculum, but the works are original, starting from a blank canvas and the interpretation of each child.”

Romulus asked people to stop spreading negativity and ‘doubts about a child’s ability’.

Meanwhile, Camryn Frederickson turned to TikTok to say that his mother was the art teacher who actually taught North.

Frederickson revealed that she was taught to paint the exact same scene when she was also seven years old by her mother Celeste Astor Frederickson.

‘This is me at the age of seven.’ Camryn said while showing a picture of her posing beside the same lake and mountain scene.

“And this is the infamous painting.

‘My mom taught me how to paint this and she taught North how to paint it, just two weeks ago.’

‘She has been an art teacher for 30 years and everyone who comes to her classes starts with exactly the same painting when they are starting.’

Another artist tweeted: ‘Speaking like an artist who did my whole life, this is definitely within the range of skills or a 7-year access to the best teachers and betting materials! Often teachers make an example of each thing (like that really good tree branch, lol) and let the child do the rest. ‘

In 2019, Kim called North Kanye’s twin brother while the couple talked about their children in an interview with Vogue Arabia.

Speaking to Kanye she said: ‘[North is Kanye’s] twin. She is so creative, expressive and has a lot of her personality. Saint, I think, has more of my personality. What do you think?’

The reality star said she is eager to ensure that her litter has a childhood they remember, as she wants them to be able to look back and say they have had an ‘incredible life’.

She added: ‘I think about it all the time. I often reflect on the incredible childhood I had and I want them to always be able to look back and say, “I had an incredible life. My parents gave me all the tools to be great and happy in life. They were fun, good and amazing parents. and they have always been there. “‘
