This story has become an internet sensation in recent days, and for good reason.
It all started when Cindi Decker, a school teacher from Florida, attended her first art class.
Her proud teenage son took a photo of her with her second ever painting of a swan and posted it to Reddit writing, 'My mom painted this and said no one would like it. It’s her 2nd painting.'
What happened next is tough to get in to words, but watch the inception that occurred when this grew creative legs online...

The post became a hit, gaining over 1.5 thousand comments, and prompting other artists to jump on board.
This found a new viral home on Twitter, after Twitter user Nick Kapur spotted what he called 'something incredible' happening on Reddit.
"Something incredible is happening on reddit. I'm tempted to say these people have way too much time, but this is legit amazing. #RecursionFTW"
