Another small bio on the artist:

Examples of Richard Gabriel Chase\'s artistic vision are sprinkled across San Diego County. His murals depicting scenes of the county in the 1830s turned the drab interior walls of banks into vibrant history lessons. His much-sought-after portraits and commissioned paintings hang in the homes of many of San Diego\'s most prominent residents. Fourteen of his portraits of famous aviators are on display at the San Diego Air & Space Museum at Balboa Park. His work has been featured in publications of the San Diego Historical Society. Mr. Chase, a longtime resident of the Hidden Meadows community north of Escondido, died December 11, 2007from complications of pneumonia. He was 88. Art was his whole life, said George Silides, a friend and neighbor of Mr. Chase. He talked about very little else.Silides said Mr. Chase was adept at several techniques, including the pallet knife and the paintbrush. He was meticulous about getting details of his historically themed works correct. He researched everything down to the belt buckles, Slides said. Mr. Chase often painted his own face onto the characters in the many murals he completed over his 64 years as an artist. One of his most impressive works is a collection of murals and super-size canvas paintings at the Manchester Grand Hyatt, which opened on the San Diego waterfront in 1992. The massive artworks were completed while Mr. Chase was in his late 60s and early 70s. He had a zest for life and a positive outlook that helped bring out the best in those who were fortunate enough to surround him, local hotel magnate Doug Manchester said. He was a very down-home person, but very worldly and sophisticated in his art.Mr. Chase was born in Massachusetts on Feb. 11, 1919. He began his art studies at the Worcester Art Museum School and earned a bachelor\'s degree in art from Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. After serving in the Army during World War II, Mr. Chase moved to California and taught life drawing and portraiture at San Bernardino College. Early in his career, he was employed as a commercial artist for the Walker Scott department store in San Diego, drawing clothing and other line art for advertisements. One day, the company president told Mr. Chase he was too talented to be wasting his time as a commercial artist. He fired Mr. Chase but gave him a year\'s salary as severance, with instructions to pursue his destiny in the fine arts. He wanted my father to have an opportunity to work on his own art, said Deborah Chase Roberts, Mr. Chase\'s daughter, who also is an artist. Mr. Chase teamed up with his first wife, interior designer Sara Martin Chase, while both were employed at Walter Broderick & Associates in La Mesa. They supported each other\'s careers. He did the paintings and murals, while she focused on interior decorating, on many occasions for the same clients. They were quite a dynamic duo, Roberts said. They were married for 25 years until Sara\'s death in 1973. He is survived by his second wife, Ruth Chase of Escondido; daughter, Deborah Chase Roberts of Texas; and four grandsons.

The system actually considers \'4\'s and other scores asunacceptable andpunishes those sellerswith higher fees, severely impacting their ability to list merchandise. Once a seller falls below the performance threshold they are blocked from selling, and the bargains and greatfinds that buyers have come tolook forand expect disappear. If you intend to leave a neutral, a negative, or anything other than a 5 give us a chance to resolve your concerns first.Our phonenumber and email address are in every listing. Also, please remember thatshipping charges for Parcel Post, Priority Mail, etc. are constantly on the rise and shipping delays due to Post Office cutbacks are common.

I amvery rural and ourPost Office is only open a few hours each day. They are closed for lunch;occasionally when the clerks are doing deliveries; and at 4PM weekdays. Plus closedSaturdays, Sundays and all Holidays.Needless to say the USPS cutbacks have hit us harder than just about anywhere else. Sometimes it can be a challenge just to get something mailed!

The Post Office significantly raised package shipping fees 2 years ago and have another increaseplanned forJanuary 2014.Currently, packages weighing over 13 ounces and up to approximately 5 pounds are the most expensive to ship on a per pound basis. Parcel Posttothe East Coast in some casesruns $107.16 not including insurance or delivery confirmation. These are the packages mostpeople ship, so the PO makes atidy windfallon these lighter class shipments.Furthermore, rates are not charged by weightand distance alone. A three tier multiplier is used to calculate the volume of all packages over 12\"x12\"x12\". The first tier; up to 83\" length and girth combined; is a small per pound surcharge based primarily on the actual weight for medium-sized packages. Once a large packagemeasures between 84\" - 107\"though, you pay for a \'balloon rate\' 20 pound parcel, or for the actual weight, whichever is more. If you exceed this dimensional allowance and ship a very large package between 108\" - 130\", you pay for 70 pounds regardless of the actual weight. For example, shipping a brick to New York will cost you$9.92, but a very large 24\"x 24\"x 24\" box weighing3 pounds with a pillow, will cost $107.16.
