Updates from the KmBerggren Studio — painting on purpose

The 9th Annual Painting On Purpose is coming together nicely!  You can watch her daily/weekly progress in my Instagram Stories And some of it right here:   The PURPOSE for Painting On Purpose is to give ALL of the money from the sale of an original painting, each year, to an organization that benefits mothers and/or children. Just one of the reasons I'm grateful for your orders (mermaids, anyone?) throughout the year :)      So far, this project has allowed me to give $6756 to 8 different organizations, since 2015. When this new painting sells, the buyer of the painting and I...
