Kim Kardashian flays critics of North's painting: 'Don't play with me when it comes to my children'

Kim Kardashian lashed out at critics questioning the authenticity of a painting she claimed her seven-year-old daughter North created herself.

The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star insisted that it's the real deal, saying North and her BFF have been taking high-skill oil painting classes lately, and just wrapped their art projects after weeks of hard work.

 North's oil painting - depicting a mountain, a river and a surrounding valley - drew comparisons of Bob Ross' artwork (and lots of jokes).

 Kim warned: "DON’T PLAY WITH ME WHEN IT COMES TO MY CHILDREN!!!"

The mother of four blasted the critics: "How dare you see children doing awesome things and then try to accuse them of NOT being awesome!?!?!"

She went on to say: "Please stop embarrassing yourselves with the negativity and allow every child to be GREAT!!!"

Kim Kardashian has been mocked by fans for claiming that her seven-year-old daughter North created an exceptional painting, showing a snowy mountain and a lake meandering throughout a beautiful landscape.

The mother of-four's shared the painting on Instagram with the caption: 'My little artist North'.

One fans tweeted: "I'm supposed to work but i can't stop thinking about how north west did not paint this." 

 Another wrote: "You're telling me North West is out here drawing like she is Bob Ross.. and I'm over here still drawing stick figures at 25?!?"

The third one responded as saying: "Kim Kardashian's child did not paint this. You can even see the photo shop signature. And even if you didn’t, it's Kim K so you have to take everything she says with a heavy spoonful of salt."

Kim Kardashian's claim about the painting  left some critics with raised eyebrows, while others took to Twitter to claim the painting is fake.
