Y’all already know the darn drill. Here at BuzzFeed we LOVE a Disney character reimagining, and recently artist Heather Theurer raised the bar with her STUNNING reproductions, which sees our favorite Disney icons as classical oil paintings.
“Life is what inspires me. It’s interesting, in retrospect, I’ve noticed that most, if not all, of my paintings spawn from experiences I was going through at the time,” Theurer told BuzzFeed. “And one of the truest joys I’ve ever had are those shared with my viewers when they connect with those same (or similar) emotions and revelations.”
