Paint-Item: 4 I've always had a fondness for pastel work, but this one is my favorite, especially that delightful sky. The image, unusually dark and rich for pastels, features a cottage by the water. It's signed in the lower left: Mrs. J. T. Meyers 1920. This may well be part of that era when china painting and other art were favorite past times for women, though somewhat late in that period. Mrs. Meyers may well have been an amateur, but she was certainly talented. The frame is a contemporary addition made of wood-look plastic, attractive as long as you don't contemplate it too closely.Frame size is about 24 1/2" x 16 1/2" while the opening is about 22 1/2" x 14 1/2". Condition is excellent with no damage. The spots you see in some of the photos are on the glass, outside. $275 plus shipping/insurance To buy an item (or more), just get in touch through the e-mail link, or you can call us at 812-467-0191. (A busy signal is still common, I'm afraid since we only have one phone line.) It works best if you include the "item" code to let us know which item or items you're interested in. The code is at the beginning of each listing and is usually two letters followed by a number. We'll confirm that the item is still available, make sure we agree on the total, and answer any questions you wish to throw our way. Checks or money orders should be made "Forrest OR Virginia Poston". We also take Paypal (including credit card payments). We try to ship in one or two days after payment arrives, and we're generous with the bubblewrap and styrofoam peanuts. If there's something you'd like us to find for you, let us know. We're just itching to please you, or maybe that was Poison Ivy we got into. Remember that all proceeds go to support good causes: my spouse, our cats (see the "staff" here), our creditors, my auction addiction, and the plumbing project that never ends. |

Please take the time to let us know what you think about the site, the look, the language, photos, items, prices, etc. If you have any questions, comments, or good ideas for conversation, feel free to contact us. There should be e-mail links on every page, and the actual address is ginfor@earthlink.net Guarantee: We have a simple, "If you aren't happy, we aren't happy" policy. If you open a package and suddenly wonder why you bought it in the first place, you can return it for a full refund of your purchase price and the shipping one way. Your only risk is the cost to ship it back to us. If it turns out that we made a mistake, then we pay the shipping both ways. I won't say "no questions asked" because we will ask so we'll know how to make fewer mistakes. |
