OK, here's proof of Longgrain's integrity!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

[Goldmund]

1. Eh?

:shrug:

[ghostsofgiants]

2. I think that's the painting she bough from Longgrain

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Hi, Goldmund,

What I mean is: I told Longgrain that I wanted to buy his painting. He set a price and gave me his address. I sent the check, and then, he sent the painting...He has integrity. We trusted each other to do this, all online...Of course, I have integrity too. But he kept his word; that's what I REALLY mean...Does that help?

[Goldmund]

11. Thanks -- I had no clue what you were talking about.

:)

[ghostsofgiants]

3. You kinda look like a female version of my grandfather

Haha, except with more hair.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. Oh, UMMM, gee, thanks! I *um* guess...

Your Grandfather??? More hair, and some OTHER differences...lol

[ghostsofgiants]

10. Haha, I think it's the eyes

Almost uncanny.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. OK, primate!

That I can accept, in a better way...lol! Who knows, I might even be old enough to be a grandparent to you...

:thumbsup:

[ghostsofgiants]

19. Haha, entirely possible

I'm only 20.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. Hm, you're 20...

I'm 61...nah, wouldn't work! I could have been your mother, though! I was waaaay done having babies by the time I was forty! My grandson is nearly 3 years old...BTW!

[JimmyJazz]

4. That is a beautiful painting. I'm sure you will enjoy it for many years!

BTW - great pic of you. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Thank you so much, JimmyJazz!

I'm thrilled with it! Now all I need is a frame...that's next!

[Longgrain]

5. Finally! Yeah!

Thanks Peg! Only my second painting sold!

I'm glad it was to another DUer! :toast:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Thank YOU Longgrain!

I'm so pleased that this all worked out! I knew it would, BTW! I'm proud to be the second person you've sold something to...

:toast:

[Longgrain]

14. And thank you for posting this,

I've got to go away for a while, but I'll be back shortly to catch up on this!

[HeeBGBz]

37. That's a nice painting

Do you have your stuff online?

[Redstone]

8. Would there be any reason to doubt a DUer,

after all we've been through?

Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. My dear Redstone!

I didn't really doubt Longgrain one little bit! I just wanted to use a provocative headline to get people to stop in...Or are you being sarcastic...? Anyway, thanks for stopping by...Always nice to see you!

:hi:


:loveya:

[Redstone]

36. No,not being sarcastic. I would especially not be so

with you, of all people.

I really did mean that DUers tend to be good people. Even the ones I've had some vicious fights with on specific subjects generally turn out to be OK folks when discussing other subjects of mutual interest.

Kind of like people in general, yes?


Redstone

[CaliforniaPeggy]

40. I didn't think you were being sarcastic, my dear Redstone...just wanted

to cover all the possibilities...I agree that Du'ers tend to be good people. Indeed, like people in general, yes...I'm feeling a bit shy here tonight, talking to you. I have no idea why! Anyway, it's always good to see you. And talk to you!

:hi:


:blush:

[mogster]

13. That's a beautiful painting

The lady looks classy as well ;-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Thank you, mogster!

I appreciate all your kind words...I love my new painting, thanks to Longgrain!


:hi:

[Maestro]

18. Very nice painting

You do good work Longgrain. You ever thought of just opening up a shop on Ebay or something?

Where are you putting it CaliforniaPeggy? Living Room, Kitchen?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Hi there, Maestro!

Thanks for stopping by...Yes, I agree, Longgrain does good work. And this is one of his early pieces, I think...I'd like to see some more mature stuff!

This is going in my study, where I am right now...I don't know if you saw my earlier thread about my daughter's painting...But that one is in the space over my window seat. As soon as I get a frame for my newest acquisition, then that will go where my daughters' painting is now: over the window seat. I will be able to look at it every time I'm online, which is a lot, these days!

[Longgrain]

35. I'm not sure about opening an Ebay shop,

I really don't know that much about the internet.

I do however have a thread up in the Marketplace Forum here at DU.

I'm just testing the waters right now.

[Sugar Smack]

20. Hey, CaliforniaPeggy!

I don't know which is more beautiful, you or the painting. Ever since you began posting pics of yourself and made those wild "Wuthering Heights" disclosures about yourself, I'd have to say it's YOU!

I wanna be you when I grow up.

Much love,
S.Smack

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. My very dear Sugar Smack!

You are waaaay too complimentary, I say! But thank you. So you think I'm beautiful? I hope I have a beautiful soul; I'm not so sure about the package...My face isn't too bad, lol! And I know how to use clothing to disguise various *ahem* figure flaws...

"Wuthering Heights" disclosures? Whatever do you mean? Please PM me, if you would!

And BTW, you are grown up, already...And you are a lovely, charming, and intelligent lady in your own right. I do understand your compliment, however, and I accept it...Thank you so much, my dear.

:loveya:

[Longgrain]

49. A morning kiss before work.

<<<SMACK!!!>>>

See you soon Sugah!

[MuseRider]

22. That is a wonderful painting!

You look so familiar. I can't imagine we have ever met but you look so like someone I have known in the past. I can't even put a name to the person but it is uncanny.

Good choice of paintings and people to buy them from!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. Thank you so much, MuseRider...

I don't think we've ever met; I've never been to Kansas City; have you ever been to California?

Thank you for the great thoughts on the painting...I'm very happy with it...and the artist, too!

[johnnie]

23. That's great

I asked Longgrain a while ago if he sold his paintings. I think he is pretty talented, and I would considering buying his work.
I have always loved artists and have collected many pieces form friends since I was a teen.
You look great in that pic too, and the painting looks like a great piece that is going to look good on your wall somewhere.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. Thank you, johnnie!

I feel very lucky to have this wonderful work! Right after I told Longgrain that I wanted it, someone else came along, lusting for it also; Longgrain told that person that someone else (me) had already gotten it. Right time in the right place!

I appreciate your kind words on me, and the painting. I will gaze on it till the end of my life...It will go in my study, over my window seat...see an earlier post here for a fuller description!

[Longgrain]

25. For the last time, here's the painting itself...

For all to see....



And here's me with it, shortly before it's trip to Californina...



Yes, I'm an attention whore...:evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. No, you are NOT!

You are a lovely guy, and an artist who needs much more exposure! I am so glad that I can help you in this endeavor, my dear Longgrain...

:loveya:

[Longgrain]

34. You are very much welcome Peg.

I hope to get a chance to display more of my ART in the future.

[Book Lover]

27. It looks lovely

I'm sure it will be a great addition to your home :-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. Hi, Book Lover,,,

Here I am again, with more art for my home! Thank you for your kind words...much appreciated!

:hug:

[cleofus1]

29. nice picture

you sure are pretty...and the painting is very very nice!

longgrain used part of the proceeds to buy me a star...so he has more than integrity he is also very generous!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. I remember when he did that, cleofus1...

I was really impressed when he did that. He had told me that part of the profit would go to DU, but I'd thought that he meant just a simple donation...But giving someone a star is truly generous!

And I thank you for the personal compliment, too! Nice to hear that I'm not entirely over the hill! (Just mostly, lol) And yes, the painting is very nice...I'm so freakin' lucky, I tell you!

:pals:

[In_The_Wind]

38. I never doubted it for one moment.

It's a lovely painting.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. Thanks, Joan!

I didn't either; just wanted people to stop in and have a look at it! The painting is great, yes, and I'm lucky to have it...

:pals:

[In_The_Wind]

47. You're one lucky lady any way I look at it !

:hug:

[ProudToBeLiberal]

39. You have a warmth to you that I cannot put a name to.

You just ooze (dunno if it's the right word lol) with it. You look great.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

42. Well, thank you so much, and I mean that...

I try to be nice to people...I want them to be nice to me, also. In person, I can be less nice, however! It depends...I tend to think out loud in person, and that doesn't always work too well. Online, I have time to consider what I'm saying, and this is a GOOD thing! I also appreciate your comments on how I look...I'm extremely touched by your remarks!

:pals:


:loveya:

[auntAgonist]

43. Peggy,..

first of all, the painting is lovely, Longgrain has done a wonderful piece of art there. Secondly, I believe your sig line speaks volumes for who you are.
I've always enjoyed your posts here on DU, just had to let you know. It's so nice to see a photograph of you as well. I love putting names and faces together.

sincerely
aA.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

44. Hi, auntAgonist!

Thank you so much for your very kind remarks! I agree, Longgrain's painting, though an early work of his, is excellent. I am VERY lucky to have gotten the opportunity to buy it!

As for my sig line, well, thank you again! It is an important part of me..I don't always live up to it, lol, but NORMALLY I try to! Sometimes, I do have a *potty* mouth, though! I'm glad you enjoy my posts...I've always had low self-esteem, and having people like me makes my day!

And as for my pic; well! Thanks again...and have you posted one? I don't recall seeing one of you...How about it? You're not the only person who loves putting names and faces together, lol!

:pals:

[Longgrain]

48. Yes! And back atchha!

Always great to see an Art thread around here.

[RetroLounge]

45. Nice painting! and Nice Picture...
