I started this blog in 2005. Above is what it looked like in the Spring of 2006. And yes, that is one of my first paintings ever – major evidence of evolution. Thank goodness for forward motion. For progress. For dreams.
Above is what this space looked like in 2007
And then again in 2008.
2009 brought a full-on overhaul.
2011 brought another blog renovation.
I’m a believer in looking back so we can see the evidence of progress. I also recently discovered this site that allows you to travel back in time and see what your sites (or any site, for that matter) looked like way back when. I have been thinking about my way back when lately, and seeking new ways of using that time for progress today. I’ve got a little something up my sleeve. Can’t wait to share when the time is right.
Sending out bravos to all of you today. For your progress. For your evolution. Keep moving forward. One small step at a time!

I must say that when I discovered Kelly Rae Roberts' art work it was by accident. I had chosen a picture that I found on a Facebook quotes page and fell in love with it. <3 I went on to find the author's name, as it was for some reason not named (maybe because they may have cropped it or seomthing) and as soon as I found who the artist was I was ecstatic! 😉 Kelly Rae Roberts, you are an amazing artist at heart, mind, & soul.

Wow Kelly, thanks so much for sharing your evolution with us. It's quite an inspiration for someone who is just getting started. It's encouraging to know that if I stick with it I will continue to grow and evolve toward my goals and dreams. Hopefully in a few years I can look back and appreciate my very humble beginnings. 🙂
Kelly, thank you for sharing your blog history in this visual format. It's very inspiring to see its revolution throughout these years. And what a big difference and growth is there in your art!
