Jonathan Scott Asks Artist to Give Painting a ‘New Girl’ Makeover
On March 9, Scott took to Instagram to share the “New Girl” painting that was custom-made for Deschanel.
“When I discovered @tylerturnbullart and his incredible talent … I knew EXACTLY what to do for @zooeydeschanel 😊,” he explained in the caption.
In the video, Scott notes, “If you guys don’t know what Tyler [Turnbull] does, he is a genius, an artist. And I figured this could be the ultimate gift that will bring Zooey joy.”
Turnbull shared that he found a Renoir print, featuring a group of people seated at a restaurant, at a thrift store. “I really like the energy. It’s like an old 1900s painterly approach, which is very beautiful,” he noted.
Scott asked, “Could you possibly do something with Zooey and then maybe, I don’t know … [“New Girl” characters] Nick, Winston, Schmidt, Cece … a whole bunch of stuff?”
The artist told him, “Yeah. That’s actually perfect. It’s kind of a party scene. I think I’ve got enough foreground characters and maybe some surprises in the back.”
The HGTV star noted, “You guys are not gonna wanna miss a second of this whole process. Because when it’s done, it’s gonna be incredible and she’s gonna lose her mind.”
The video included details of the original painting and showed the transformation as the artist painted over some faces to depict Deschanel’s “New Girl” character Jessica Day. At Scott’s request, the other “New Girl” characters were also painted into the scene. Even Winston’s cat Furguson is part of the action!
And, in the background, Scott was painted in — check him out looking at the scene from a nearby distance!
