Cassandra at Dawn
2008, Oil on Herringbone Linen
42 x 48 inches, framed
We spent so many days getting up to start painting before sunrise in the deep cold of New England winter. It was worth it. My sister Cassandra modeled for this one. I like to think that the radiant light of the sun, reflecting its lovely colors on the snow, is symbolic of everything she has taught me in this life, just by being her authentic self.
