I discovered these beautiful pieces of art on Etsy by Kelly Rae Roberts and then visited her website, which has even more of her incredible work! She creates her lovely masterpieces using "acrylics, oils, inks, heart, soul, imagination, pencils, papers." Kelly ignored her dream of becoming an artist until she was 30 years old. She says, "when I finally began putting paint on paper, my heart exploded with a joy I hadn't known before!" Having spent most of her life in the company of women, her pieces are inspired by the support and appreciation of many of them throughout her life. How incredibly inspiring! What a great testimony that it's never too late to pursue your dreams! What have you always had a passion or calling for but haven't explored yet? What's holding you back?

  2. These are beautiful, very ethereal and whimsical without being too cutesy and pastel. I wish I could paint like that. Thanks for sharing them.
