Aretha Franklin passed away on Thursday, August 16 due to pancreatic cancer.

Her death brought out a multitude of tributes from famous fans and friends alike.




However, Jim Carrey's tribute painting received serious backlash from some fans after he posted it to Twitter.

Here is the actor and comedian turned visual artist's tweet.

People took exception to Carrey's palette choices.




Some people thought the portrait resembled a different person entirely—actress Kathy Bates.



Some thought Carrey intended the portrait to show bright light—stage or heavenly—shining on Franklin's face.



Carrey, according to People, took up painting about six years ago.

Most of his recent works involve a series of political statements aimed at President Trump and the state of the USA according to Carrey.







Fans offered solutions to what they saw wrong with Carrey's Aretha Franklin tribute.




Regardless of fan opinions on his level of artistic talent, it is clear Carrey meant no disrespect to the Queen of Soul with his well-intentioned tribute.

Woman Recounts 'Craziest' Experience At Restaurant While Reality TV Show Was Filming There—And Yikes

There's a saying about being a "jack of all trades" that's popular for a reason: basically, you cannot be the best at everything, and if you try to be the master of juggling too many plates, you're likely to drop some of them.

TikToker Hannah Revels went out for a double date, including her husband and a couple of friends, to a restaurant that she did not disclose. It's supposed to be a nicer restaurant that was recently renovated, and it's also located in Charleston, South Carolina, so celebrity sightings are fairly common.

Most people would agree that high school is tough, from going through puberty and figuring out who you are, to trying to decide what to do for a career and where you might like to go for trade school or college, and maybe experiencing your first love.

Also, going through teen pregnancy during that time takes the high school experience to a whole other level.
