Realistic and Dreamy Painting

I saw this artist’s work when I was at a street art festival in Denver Colorado. I like how realistic is is even though people do not actually look like this. It seems more like a dream of realism with great color to it.

I took a few painting classes when I was in high school and always try for realism. This work is very motivating to me and I wish I could be as good. But it also makes me feel #untalented when I look at it and that is why I am posting to that tag today.
