a girl like me... find your colors

So... this girl is a companion to my "fly high" girl. While this lovely has seen some gray in her life, she's always been able to see 'glimpses' of vibrant colors within her head. But, she's never been able to figure out how to grab those vibrant colors, make them a reality, and move them into the space where the gray has always been. But no longer... she's now ready to leave the gray behind. She's gained the strength to walk away from the negative people, thoughts, and toxicity... and walk towards the positive, the love, the belief in herself, and the COLORS. Her life will now be FILLED with all the colors within the rainbow 🌈.  Find your colors, dear one.  🦸‍♀️♀

Your girl, sister, daughter, or friend will celebrate her fierceness and strength every single day when she looks at this original painting hanging in her room... and she will KNOW, for sure, that she has the strength to walk away from the gray and embrace the colors. 

• I created this Mixed Media painting on a 30x30 canvas (1.5" wrapped edge) using acrylics, charcoal, ink, pastels, gelatos, stabilo, and paper.
• Each painting has a slightly "hidden" date somewhere on the canvas; the date represents a date in history that a woman performed a FANTASTICAL feat!
• The painting will be delivered to your door with a tag describing the inspiring woman and the date she set the world ablaze.

So... this girl has seen some gray in her life. And now, she's ready to leave the gray behind, believe in herself, find love💖 in herself, and create magical colors in her life. She has BIG dreams and adventures planned, and she fully intends on creating a life and a space that enables those dreams to come true. So, no more gray, no more people that cause gray, and no more gray thoughts. Her life will now be FILLED with all the colors within the rainbow 🌈.  Fly high, lovely. 🦸‍♀️♀🦋

a girl like me... “Sometimes, you gotta be a beauty and a beast."

So... do you know a girl or young lady who is an aspiring ballerina? Or a young girl who simply does whatever it takes to reach her dreams? Sometimes it's hard, but she never gives up. And often, when required, you can see her rollin' up her sleeves, getting her hands a bit dirty, and becoming a "beast". Whatever it takes to reach her dreams, right?!

a girl like me... “Not fragile like a flower... fragile like a bomb.”

So... this is for all the young ladies who are often judged as a bit weak or perhaps a bit "fragile." People judge these ladies based on their exterior selves without ever getting to know more about them. Well, stand back! This little lady is NOT fragile; she has strength, determination, and will. And, yes, while she may be a bit "fragile", she's not fragile in the way you may think. She's not fragile like a delicate "flower"; she's fragile like a BOMB. Better stay out of her way!

a girl like me... “You play football? That's cute."

So... this girl is a ballerina, or maybe an aspiring ballerina. She knows all too well the difficulty level of performing pirouettes, fouettes, grand adages, or grand jetes. (spelling these terms is not so easy either!) The difficulty level of these moves is much higher than... let's say... well, how about catching a leather ball and running down a nicely manicured grassy field with a custom helmet, a team of large people blocking others from tackling you, all while garbed in safety pads galore! Well, YES... I'd say the ballet moves have a difficulty level OFF THE CHARTS compared with football!

Your girl, sister, daughter or friend will celebrate her fierceness and strength every single day when she looks at this original painting sitting on her desk or bedside table... and she will KNOW, for sure, that football players could NEVER do ballet.

a girl like me... "Yes, I'm aware that I'm a rare breed of woman."

So... this is a girl who is CONFIDENT in who she is. She fully embraces her quirks and makes no apologies to anyone on who she is, how she acts, or how she thinks. She thinks for herself, and herself only. She LOVES her personality traits that make her unique. She can take care of herself, but will often invite others to join her IF he/she complements her current fabulous life and self. If he/she detracts, well, no need to hang around. She prefers her own company to hangers-on. That's right! She is a rare breed of woman.

a girl like me... “Don't mistake my demureness for weakness... I am fearless, and I roar.”

So... don't you know a young lady who sometimes can be a bit of a contradiction? On the one hand, she seems a tad shy; on the other hand, she sometimes comes out ROARING. Well, this print is for all the girls, ladies, females, and women who are often judged too quickly. People may think these lovelies are weak or frail, when in fact, they can pack a FIERCE punch both physically and emotionally... give her a try, all you judgers!

a girl like me... “Princess? No... try astronaut.”

So... this girl has astronomically, cosmically-BIG dreams! She wants to travel, but not just on Earth. She wants to explore space... all of it. She wants to discover what's out there... if anything. And no one will stop her. So what if primarily men have traveled into space thus far? It's her time... and she plans to follow in the footsteps of the brave ladies before her... Sally Ride, Kathryn Sullivan, Eileen Collins, Julie Payette, Jessica Meir, Christina Koch, Valentina Tereshkova, and FILL IN THE BLANK WITH YOUR NAME!!! Go do it!

Your girl, sister, daughter or friend will celebrate her fierceness and strength every single day when she looks at this original painting sitting on her desk or bedside table... and she will KNOW, for sure, that her name will join the list of the brave female astronauts that laid the path for her to follow.
