Then I happened to walk by Zantman and was was transported to that spot that art lovers have described but which I've never experienced till then. For me, the art was moving, moody and drew me in to a story I hadn't yet told or heard. The gallery owner was welcoming and didn't make me feel like I was out of my league. Sadly, I don't have the art lover's budget, but if I did, this is where I'd spend it.

Some of the paintings actually looked more like a real photograph than a painting. Such amazing talent. I really love this gallery.

This photographer must have spent years at the ocean's edge to capture so much variety of light and color. I have no idea what these beauties might have cost. I just enjoyed the looking at them.

I have always associated the name Weston, (peppers, shells and nudes) with Carmel, perhaps that's why I wasn't shocked at the price or surprised by the quality of the photography in this gallery.

Julia Christopher brought a police officer to my home, claiming insurance fraud. It was not, and the gallery refunded my payment.
