We’ve all read ProBlogger,TechCrunch,Lifehacker, and blogs like this. But have you ever been gripped and emotionally challenged by people who are creating on their blog to really change the world in some awesome positive ways.

Ashley Cecil, The Painting Journalist is an artist located in Louisville,Kentucky who is an amazing painter, and uses her blog to share her paintings which are views of her world. She donates proceeds of her sales to charities that help make the world a better place.

She describes her gift in this way:

Welcome to the marriage of painting and social activism. I’ve been creating art ever since discovering that my mom’s Chanel 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 journalist.” I’m addressing philanthropic 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.

It’s Christmas time think about supporting bloggers, and a cool cause by buying a painting and helping out a work at home blogger and a charity of her choice. Talk about changing the world for better.
