[CaliforniaPeggy]

[fizzgig]

1. are all those paintings hers?

they are beautiful

and i love that tree!

hope your day went well, peggy :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear kagehime!

Oh, yes, all the paintings are hers!

Thank you, sweetie...

The tree was apparently planted around the time the town was established...around 100 years ago!

I've had an excellent but exhausting day....drove a long way to see her!

But oh it was worth it, yes indeed...

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

2. Oh my... I read that wrong

I was trying to figure out how your daughter could be a tree! lol!

Now that I see the pics it makes sense! haha!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My dear KC2!

Ooops, my bad! I could have worded it a bit better, huh?

Thanks for coming by!

:hug:

[Cabcere]

3. Your daughter looks a lot like you, I think.

:) That is beautiful artwork...and what a cool tree! :hi: Thanks for sharing your pictures with us, CalPeg - I always look forward to them. Peace.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. My dear Cabcere...

She does, doesn't she? Only I think she's prettier! Plus waaaaay more talented...

I've been watching her art evolve over the years, and I love it...

Glad you enjoyed the pics!

:hug:

[femmocrat]

6. Her work is really beautiful, Peggy!

Thanks for sharing.


That tree looks just right for climbing on! :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

My dear femmocrat!

Oh, thank you! I'm really proud of her...

And later I'll post a pic I took of a little sign...that talks about just that issue!

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Here's the sign I promised you!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

8. Very Nice. The paintings and the tree. Your daughter is lovely.

Sounds like you had a nice day.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. My dear Tuesday Afternoon!

Thanks, sweetie!

I agree......of course! Naturally, I'm not biased or anything!

I had a lovely, if tiring, day...40 miles one way to see her...



:bounce: :bounce:

[VenusRising]

9. It looks like you had a wonderful day!

The paintings are lovely.
Your daughter is gorgeous.
That tree is amazing.

I hope you've been well! How's your writing class?

:hi::hug::loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. My dear VenusRising!

Oooh, you are NOT going to believe this, but I was just thinking you hadn't been around lately, sweetie!

Thank you for all the very kind words!

The class is going very well....alas, I should be doing my take-home midterm! :scared:

:loveya: :hug:

[VenusRising]

18. Thanks for thinking of me, Peggy!

We have been in the middle of moving, and we finally got our internet up today.

I'm so exhausted, but I absolutely LOVE our new apartment.

I can't wait for the first cool night so we can light that fireplace. :bounce:

Good luck with that mid-term! I'm sure you'll do great. :hug:

[Whisp]

10. o, I do like that spackled tree painting.

a lot. it zinged out at me instantly.
the others look very interesting as well - just can't quite see them proper. Does she have something on the net?

You have a beautiful, talented daughter, Peggy. You must be proud. ;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. My dear Whisp!

Thank you! She constantly amazes me...

Here's her website: http://barbarajcarter.com/index.html

Her father and I have always marvelled at her abilities...

:hi:

[Whisp]

32. Thanks, Peggy.

The paintings are stunning! I love them all! I really like that pointilism style - I think the originator of that technique was an artist called Surrat (?). It's been a long time since school. tho.

again, can't say enough how beautiful I think those are. I get all excited when I see lovely things. heh.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Hey...

I have to stop now, for dinner...

BBL, gang!

[puerco-bellies]

12. I was just there, and saw your daughter and her work.

I did not speak with her. I was more interested in chatting with a couple of jewelers, and that guy that makes flutes. I wondered if you were going to be there, but I guess I missed you.

I am going to exhibit in next years fair so I hope to see the both of you.
P-b

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear puerco-bellies!

You were there too?

How fabulous!

I was there much earlier......around noon till about 1:30pm. It's a looooooooong drive!

I'm not sure if she'll be back next year...

But if she goes, I'll visit...

:hi:

[GenDem]

13. I love her pointillistic style!

That's awesome work, Peggy. You have an incredibly talented daughter.
:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear GenDem!

Thank you so much!

We knew she was talented from her earliest days...

And we did all we could to nurture that...

She amazes us constantly!

:hi:

[TommyO]

20. I love that piece on the easel to her left

Do you know if it sold at the art fair?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. My dear TommyO!

Isn't that one stunning?

I have no idea, but if you check out her website, you can ask her...

http://barbarajcarter.com/index.html

I rather doubt it...

Thanks for asking, and good luck!

:hi:

[TommyO]

22. I've already checked out the website

It's definitely from her November Sun collection, but not shown. I'll definitely be in touch with her.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. Oh, that's great!

Thank you for letting me know...

She will be happy to hear from you...

:hi:

[WCGreen]

25. I see that the resident tree has put down come very strong roots

in the community...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. It really has...

This is a town that values and cherishes its past...

The tree was planted most likely at the time the town was established...about 100 years ago...

Nice to see you tonight!

:hug:

[huskerlaw]

27. Wow!

Your daughter's talented! :wow:

I love her artwork, it's fabulous!

I'm trying to figure out who she looks like. At first I thought definitely you, but upon second look, I can see Mr. CalPeg (hahaha, that sounds weird) there too. ;)

Thanks for letting me know you posted!

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. My dear huskerlaw!

Oh, thanks! Yes, she looks like both of us, with me predominating, I think...

But she sure as heck has her father's intelligence! I'm always glad I'm her mom...I don't have to compete with her!


You're welcome! Glad you had time to come by, sweetie!

:hug:

[liberaltrucker]

29. CPeg daughter is one beautiful lady!

However, that tree borders on obscene!

:rofl:

:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. My dear liberaltrucker!

Thank you......I sure agree about my daughter!

But....the tree?

Maybe you've been on the road too long?

:evilgrin:


:loveya:

[liberaltrucker]

31. All too true, I'm afraid

:blush:

:loveya:

[conscious evolution]

33. Wow

She is really talented.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. Thank you, my dear conscious evolution!

She constantly amazes me...

:hi:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

34. I would definitely have her art in my home

She looks like a very nice person, but what else would one expect, with such a mother!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. My dear DeposeTheBoyKing!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your very kind comments...

Here's her website...feel free to browse!

http://barbarajcarter.com/index.html

:hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

37. Wow. She's quite talented. And, very pretty!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. Thanks, my dear Midlo!

Of course I agree...but I'm not biased or anything, you know!

:hi:

[grace0418]

39. Lovely paintings, lovely girl. But then again, she came from you so that's

no surprise at all. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

40. My dear grace0418!

Oh, thank you so much!

You are too kind, really...

:hi: back atcha!

[SPKrazy]

41. Nice paintings... nice daughter...now this tree

does it have some significance???

really nice paintings


and your daughter looks like Cal Peg Jr. (she's cute like you ;) )

:hi:


:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

42. My dear Southpawkicker...

Thanks, sweetie...I appreciate your very kind commments!

The tree? No significance, except it was there in the park where the show was...

And I thought it was really magnificent! Plus, it's really old...

About the same age as the town: 100 plus years old!


I think my daughter's cute too.....thanks bunches!

:hug:

[Maestro]

43. Wow! What a talented daughter!

I hope she sells/sold plenty or at the very least got some needed exposure!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

44. Oh, thank you, my dear Maestro!

Well, when I was there, she hadn't sold any yet...

She did have one very hot prospect, though...

Her location was perfect, and she did get a lot of exposure...

She's back there today, so I hope she will do well...

I am constantly amazed at her ability to paint...

:hi:

[Maestro]

45. My wife is very talented in this way, artistic, able to draw.

I am just amazed at people who can paint, draw, play piano. I missed those genes somewhere.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

46. You still have extraordinary artistic abilities!

You take wonderful pictures, and this is important in its own right...

Photography has its own gene!

I know what you mean though...



:hug:

[Maestro]

47. Thanks, and I know you know what I mean.

It's those people that can make art with their own hands. Just wow! Sure great photographers are very artistic seeing extraordinary things in the ordinary. Ansell Adams was a master at framing nature for example. I hope eventually to be able to do the same with wildlife, primarily birds. Thanks again.

[Radio_Lady]

48. What a beautiful gal! And the paintings are fabulous, too!

Thanks for posting this.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

50. Thank you, my dear Radio_Lady!

I appreciate your very kind comments a lot...

:hi:

[Radio_Lady]

56. Peggy, you are a classy lady and I admire you. Good to speak with you by telephone!

Thanks for welcoming my husband, Audio_Al, to the DU!

Respectfully,

Radio_Lady Ellen in Oregon

[SallyMander]

49. I love the big one next to her!

Does she have a website where we can see more?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

51. My dear SallyMander!

She sure does! Here you go:

http://barbarajcarter.com/index.html

And thank you!

She constantly amazes her father and me...

:hi:

[puerco-bellies]

52. Umm.. I think I posted under false pretenses

I thought I saw your daughter at the "local" art festival. Was she at an out of town one????
My bad.
P-b

[CaliforniaPeggy]

53. No worries, my dear puerco-bellies!

She was in Monrovia!

Not the one in our town...

I wondered what you were doing all the way out there!

We sure don't have any trees like that around here, do we?

:hug:

[libodem]

54. Very nice, CP

Nice daughter, nice art, nice tree. And you are very nice, too.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

55. My dear libodem...

Well, I'm blushing!:blush:

Thanks...

Glad you liked the pics!

:hug:
