The gallery was packed,  and the potluck food tables were overflowing, at the "WINTER SOLSTICE"  reception.  All went to eat at  Baileys afterward. We walked down. I spoke to Ann Larsen, painter, about her road to success, at the show.  She gave me some ideas when she spoke about her career, including the cost of advertising her work  in a well - known art magazine, which she has invested in. She paints both Southwest and Northeast landscape, and much more. Her Southwest style reminds me of the Sharp painting style. Her husband is the equally famous and talented photographer, Gary Larsen. They are both on the road to success. Love it!
