This is the heartwarming moment when country music star Garth Brooks was presented with a unique painting on arrival at Dublin Airport.
Earlier this week, The Friends In Low Places singer flew into Dublin Airport ahead of his highly-anticipated five gigs in Croke Park. Upon arrival in the terminal, Brooks was gifted the lovely artwork by daa operations officer and artist Paul Doyle, which he created based on a picture of a young Brooks taken by his late half-sister Betsy during his first ever trip to Dublin back in 1994.
A video shared by Dublin Airport shows a visibly moved Garth Brooks admiring the painting. He said: "That is so sweet. That's Betsy."

Artist Paul explained to Brooks how he did two layers of spraypaint for the painting, at which the delighted singer exclaimed: "You've got to be kidding me, that is so cool." The unique painting also has a video in the back of it, which greatly impressed the country singer.
Brooks revealed that he was thinking about his sister Betsy on the day, and he was so pleased with the painting that he gave artist Paul Doyle a hug. On Friday night, an emotional Garth Brooks broke down in tears on stage as he finally took to Croke Park to headline his first of five historic gigs.
The Friends In Low Places singer fell to his knees in awe of the long awaited night, as he began to belt out his hit songs to a screaming loud crowd. Up to 80,000 fans excitedly flocked to GAA headquarters yesterday to enjoy the first night of a weekend of Garth-inspired country music celebrations.
