Great idea to tie art sales to nonprofit groups... I do something similar in that I donate work to nonprofits, but your blog has me rethinking that!

This site is beautiful in layout and the artwork is outstanding. There were a lot of wordpress data errors, though that sort of messed up my browsing. This is an unusual blog for an artist and I really enjoyed reading through it.

Hi Ashley, I loved your watercolors and also oil paintings. Most of the pictures are so lively! Like photos taken on a sunny day.
The watercolors look especially amazing to me.
