Sobocinski told Mashable her grandmother has been painting all her life, and that the paintings in the photo were created with Paint By Numbers kits.
"As a family, we are all inspired," she wrote. "I have never been an artist but seeing what she has done under her conditions is beautiful.
"She is my motivation to try something new and now I am definitely interested in buying some paint and a canvas. We are all so proud of her."
