Paula Deen Fans Are Seriously Impressed By This Realistic Sidewalk Chalk Drawing
Artists love to immortalize celebrity chef Paula Deen and her restaurant. A website called Fine Art America sells prints of the photos they've taken of the personality's dining establishment, in addition to portraits of Deen herself. The chef even likes to dabble in painting, and says that the art form feels therapeutic and acts as a release, according to Cooking With Paula Deen. While fans have celebrated the chef in art before, one particular piece of chalk art has drawn some serious attention on social media recently.
Fans across Instagram have gathered to check out the art depicting a headshot of Deen next to a stick of butter. The post, published by the official account for Paula Deen's Family Kitchen, features the caption, "We had our annual Chalkfest at @theislandpf yesterday! Check out this chalk drawing of Mrs. Paula." And as it turns out, fans can't get enough of the likeness of the celebrity, with the chalk art appearing right in front of Deen's restaurant like a very creative welcome mat.

The art was done by @jessiqueenart who has a ton of other chalk art on display on her Instagram page and looks to have some serious experience illustrating people.
