"Mother of Four Finds Time to Paint"

I can only speak for myself, but that headline would keep me away from your show. It makes you sound like a hobbyist, not a serious artist. Stressing your non-art life isn't going to sell your art.
Do you still have the clippings from the other guy's show? Dissect them and figure out what made them work. Don't copy anything, but get a feel for what made people show up.
I like the idea of getting your name in the paper as prominently as possible. This is no time for humility. If they run the story, try to get your most eye catching painting in print. Not necessarily your favorite, but one with strong composition. Subtle images won't show up well enough. My opinion.

That's straight off your web page. Art buyers want to know you're a real artist. The number of kids you have is not part of their criteria.
I know I'm an amateur, but I've spent thousands of dollars on original art, and I know what would get me to show up.
