Ashley's Guardian

This week I went live on my business Facebook page (www.facebook.com/teresakogut) and created “Ashleys’ Guardian”. It is to be donated to fundraising auction in June. The mix media painting was painted over scrapbook papers on cradled board and measures 18 x 24 inches. I added a special touch to this painting….the heart on her choker is painting with shimming gold paint

She’s been in my sketchbook for over a year now when I sketched 40 angels over the 40 days of lent. I thought she was perfect for the donation.

Here’s a bit of information about the organization from my friend Melinda Brawner:

“NGA is the name of the 501(3)c that I belong to. We donated over 27,000 items in the Genesee county community in 2017, mostly for young children. We support Catholic Charities Center for Hope, Crossover Downtown Outreach ministries, Old News Boys and The Hurley Foundation. At Hurley we purchase hats for Peds Oncology, clothing for the NICU, and clothing for the ER. Recently we added our receipts and found that we generally pay .16 to .20 cents on the dollar . Our organization has 35 members. We are anxiously awaiting our annual auction and Teresa’s beautiful angel painting! 50 percent of our funds come from our annual auction.”
