This evening was the opening and award ceremony for the Eighth International Art Competition. I received a purchase award which has to be a lucky sign being that it's the first day of spring....right? I want to go back and see the show again because it was too full of people to really enjoy the artwork. I'm excited to be in this collection. I felt it the night I painted this painting, that it was important. When I think about it, it's scary to paint something so personal and sacred to me and then hang it on the wall...literally. But seeing it there, even with all of these people looking at it, it felt like it was in the right place.

Ginger and her kitten look so lovely while I think I was talking to my dad in this picture. Hey Ginger, send me an email and I'll send you a present. I just received a small print of this painting from Greenwich Workshop. cassandrabarney@gmail.com
