Last night’s Holiday Reception at the Los Gatos Museum’s Gallery was super fun with great eats, good bubbly, lovely people and lots and lots of art! Here’s a series of shots from the event taken by either me or my friend, artist Isaias Sandoval-Streufert who sweetly took over camera duty so I could socialize for a while! I just realized there are no pictures of him – the curse of the photographer! Click on any highlighted artist’s name for a link to their website.

Artist Kevin Kasik invited guests into the gallery on a seasonally chilly night.

Gallery artists Sam Pearson, Nancy deWeess, David Stonesifer, Tom Yacoe and Danielle Dufayet milling about before the crowds.

Me standing in front of my oil painting Lily of the Valley with Cows talking with sculptor Jeff Owen and his wife, chemist Terri.

Lance Glasser‘s sculpture scaling his plexiglass wall.

Painter Ed Lucy.

Love oil painter Diana Leone‘s sunflowers on this wall!

Watercolor painter Veronica Gross making sure the hors d’oevres are OK. You can see her lovely floral in the top right corner.

I guess someone needed a closer look at Luke Stamos’s painting.

Here’s oil painter Luke Stamos talking with collectors David and Carol Ann sandwiched between a sculpture by Lance Glasser (on the left) and one by Fabienne Bismouth (on the right)  who also appear to be enjoying the reception.

I can spot painter Rebecca White and painter Betty McGuire beneath Jeanne Tillman’s leaf.

Sculptor Deborah Gabris and Painter Chris Dok talking, that’s Deborah’s Bull!

Painter Carolyn Larsen with two of her artist friends who dropped by the reception.

I love it when magic like this happens, this guest’s beautiful hair just happened to match Danielle Dufayet’s acrylic painting, Opal Morning. I couldn’t resist snapping away and she was very kind to indulge me!

Happy to say that oil painter Carol Rafferty is back from her travels in Europe, her painting, Western Addition San Fransico is on the left with Jeff Owen’s sculpture on the right.

I must admit, there was so much socializing that I didn’t get a good chance really enjoy all the work – I do look forward to going back and giving everything a closer look – I hope you’ll make it in, the next exchange won’t be until the end of January or February.
