This weekend the local gallery association holds it's annual celebration called "A Taste of Ashland". Local wineries, restaurants and galleries are paired up to show off the local culture and to kick off the summer season, although this year it seems winter refuses to let go. The weekend begins with a gala fundraiser, held last night, which features a 1 hour painting and drawing frenzy called a quickdraw. Afterwards, all the pieces are auctioned off to raise money for the association. This painting is my effort from last night's event. It is 16"x20" and the view is looking up through a skylight at the hotel.
