Good for you.

[Longgrain]

The good word is, not only do I have another sale pending, but a woman I work with asked me to paint one for her.

I may just take up her offer. ;-)

He is a real cutie, though, and a lovely guy...

[Longgrain]

[Longgrain]

18. Thanks Prag...You can see the painting itself bellow...

Post 6 I think.

[Longgrain]

6. Thanks Peg. Sorry about the mix up. : (

And here's the actual painting it's self...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. My dear Longgrain!

You have no reason to apologize! I was the ONE screwing up the post...something didn't work when I cut and pasted your original whatever you call it...the stuff that indicates where the painting came from, the jargon from Photobucket...Anywell, all is well now, and I'm happy!

Thank you so much!

:toast:

[Longgrain]

23. You're welcome, I know it takes some time to get the hang of it

Posting pictures I mean.

But once you figure it out, it's easy.

[CornField]

11. That is beautiful!

You do very nice work, Longgrain! I'm jealous that Peggy gets it. :)
Congrats to you both.

[Longgrain]

12. I have some others up in the Market Place forum if you're interested

Here's the link...

Tho sale is pending on one of them.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Thanks, CornField! I think he does, too!

I just happened to be in the right place at the right time when he first talked about selling it...

He has others...Check them out!

:hi:

[Hugin]

20. Beautiful!

Yeah, I can see it much better in this one.

Longgrain is a great painter! I'd have that painting
in my house.

You're very lucky to have it.

[Longgrain]

21. Thank you, I actually haven't been doing much painting lately

But I'll be getting back into it soon.

And I have Duer's like you to thank.

:hi:

[Hugin]

44. What I really like about this piece is the background...

Your use of color and texture.

It's almost abstract... Very interesting to look upon.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. Hi, Prag, I'm really happy about getting this...The first time I saw it,

I thought, wow, I WANT this one! So I jumped in, and the rest is well, history! I know how lucky I am...

[Hugin]

45. "I thought, wow, I WANT this one!"

If there's any better way to buy art, I'd like
to know about it.

It isn't art if it doesn't jump up and grab you.

:)

Great find.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

46. I agree, you need to have whatever it is that speaks to you...I've done

this with just about everything I have in my life, and it always works. Even with marrying my husband! You just have to trust your gut feelings, and I do..."To thine own self be true..." Mr. Shakespeare had it right...

:toast:

[Book Lover]

13. Longgrain, I've got a question for you

Do you do your painting outside as well? I occasionally do some wood engraving al fresco, when I can, and I just love the way the sunlight affects my work.

[Longgrain]

14. Most of my painting is done outside in natural light.

It's funny how different they look once you bring them indoors. Almost as if the sunlight adds a magical sort of glow to a painting.

[Book Lover]

17. It sure does :-)

Indoor light is differently colored than sunlight, which itself also varies depending on how much stuff's in the sky that day. Unfortunately, most book- and printmaking machinery is too cumbersome to bring outdoors, so I only get to do the engraving in the park or wherever. Anyway, you lucky dog to get to do art outside :-)

[Longgrain]

26. It's all about the color of the light isn't it?

:D

[cleofus1]

29. i love art...

still haven't done anything new....


heres an old pencil sketch my wife found in a box

[Longgrain]

[Longgrain]

32. Here you go...

Courtesy of Peggy.

[cleofus1]

33. thanks...

that's the nicest thing...

[Longgrain]

34. I told Peg part of the profits would go to DU

I kept my word.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. That was awfully good of you, Longgrain! I knew you would keep

your word, but I wasn't thinking of it this way...this is very generous!

Well, I always knew you were a sweetheart!

:hug:


:loveya:

[Longgrain]

43. You're welcome Peg!

:hi:

[Book Lover]

35. So, Peggy

Do you have a place for it already picked out?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. Hi, Book Lover, yes, I think so...

There's a really nice window seat in my study, where I am right now, and a lot of the time, LOL! I look into that space all the time. It faces north, and there are windows on the north and east. They are covered with a lovely duet shade, kind of pleated and doubled. No direct sun comes through, just a perfect diffused sort of light. I'm going to hang it there and see if the reality matches my vision. Now wouldn't that be nice? And if it does, then I'll take a photo, and everybody will get to see it. If the spot doesn't work, then I'll have to look around some more...but I think it will.

I CAN'T WAIT!

[Book Lover]

40. How neat!

Well, I for one can't wait to see it in place :-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. You speak for me as well!

BTW, check your PM...

[cleofus1]

36. wow

my drawing came out real big

[Longgrain]

42. Try down-sizing it next time.

It can be a pain, but it works.

:)
