Last night was the gala and award ceremony for the Portrait Society of Canada's Miracle of the Portrait. I am so excited to announce that my painting "Craig" won third prize in the competition! Here are some photos from the night that were taken by my sister, Jessica Gordon. (best sister in the world, and best illustrator too:)
Typical Kristy shot - it's me in the bathroom before we make our big entry
receiving my prize:)
This is a crazy shot. Jessica's the best photographer ever:)

Congratulations, Kristy! You've earned being among the elite group of painters.
Congratulations, Kristy! Craig is a wondrful painting, I learned a lot from your post on that one. I recognized Marina Dieul in the photo. She does some wonderful children's pastels and oils as well.
Awww, thanks guys!!!! :)
Thanks for the big shout out Kristy! And I'm so glad I was there to see you get this award.
What an honor, BRAVO!
Congrats, Kristy, you deserve any plaudits! Excellent!
Good thing sis was there to snap polaroids for us, too. ;-)
I've always wondered why when artists get together they still opt to go with a boring old black dress or tie and jacket.
You're an artist! Dress your body like it was a canvas!!
Actually, I'm only joshing. Congrats on the prize! You deserve it.
