Ashley Cecil is a fantastic painter. Her blog bridges the gap between technology and the fine arts. This is an excerpt from her site:
Welcome to the marriage of painting and social activism. I've been creating art ever since discovering that my mom's favorite lipstick made a great oil pastel. Through formal art education and years of professional experience, the adult version of this vocation has evolved into my own job title, "painting activist." I'm addressing social issues utilizing painting as my medium of communication. Much like a photojournalist, I travel to locations/events of cultural interest and capture them, only with my brush. My talent is as an artist, my passion is advocating for social change; this is how the two work together.Hope you enjoy.

I was impressed by the softness to her style. While this piece might not be edgy or full of comic-style flair, there is something unique here. The expressions on these kids comes out of the piece. Very nice.
