Don Byram Art Framing

Here are some of some of our recent frame and print jobs.....and more importantly, the stories that go with them!!

What do you get a WWII P-51 pilot as a gift? How about a memory of one the finest planes in the history of the military. Tim Wright supplied the perfect memory and we supplied the perfect frame. Lisa Wheeler needed a statement piece for an art show she was accepted in. How about this??!! She supplied the image file and we supplied the giclee canvas printing and gallery wrapped it for her.

Kay Johnson and her daughter Kris Doyle teamed up on this one. Kay supplied the fabulous antique frame, Kris supplied the picture file and we supplied the giclee canvas printing and pulled it all together for them. Ellen Ketchum's Grandmother wrote, illustrated and printed her own book of poetry and art in 1933. Ellen took it to the next level and she can now enjoy her Grandmother's work daily with these shadow boxes of original pages and wood printing blocks. And, just so you know, Ellen still has several copies she keeps handy so she can thumb through them when she thinks of her Grandmother.

Woodworks - John Weber Photography

John Weber is a fabulous local artist that is quietly hiding in the plain view of us all. I could yammer for several paragraphs about him and what he does and how he does it and his qualifications and how meticulous he is and what a gentle and humble soul he is and yada, yada, yada. But...at the end of the day....it's about the art. If you like rustic or coastal art, take a look at his work. If you see anything you like, you can click on the picture and it will take you to the website and you can see the dimensions and prices. They are several different ones at pics4everyone.com. Exhibits, shows, and stores: Lyndon House Arts Center Hampton Fine Art Gallery Athens Greensboro Feb 20-May 10 April 5-28 Farmington Depot Gallery Apalachicola Center for Farmington History, Culture & Art April 1-2 Apalachicola, Fl April 8-30 Episcopal Church of St. Peter Katie McFarland Pottery & Art and St. Paul-Marietta Apalachicola, Fl Apr 30-May 1

Just for Two This is one of my personal favorites of John's. It was taken on Jekyll Island. I love the symmetrical organization and calmness of the picture. It is mounted on antique barn wood from western North Carolina. Gulls II The photography is from the Outer Banks in North Carolina. The driftwood is from Apalachicola, Florida. The Gulls? They are from every visit you have ever made to a beach. Quick....hide the potato chips!! Open and Shut Possibly, John's best known image. The rustic image is of a window of Lumpkin Academy, located in Oglethorpe County. The barn wood comes from western North Carolina.

Shrimp Catcher This one is worth clicking on several times to make larger so you can see the real barnacle that is the eye of the Shrimp! Doesn't the piece of driftwood look like a shrimp?! Still Waters Another well known John Weber image that has graced the cover of art show handouts and has been displayed many times. Now it is available and mounted on driftwood from Florida. Oops....I had several emails from the last newsletter I sent out. Inadvertently, in a pre-caffeinated condition early one morning, I somehow managed to delete them. If you had a comment or question I still need to know about, please send it to me again. This time I promise to have coffee first. Thanks for playing nicely! Janice, VC, Don (and John Weber!)

We all were sad when Patio Outlet closed down several months ago here at Commerce Crossing. Honestly, can a person have too many patio cushions?? We think not!!

So, it is only right and fair that we celebrate with Gary Carver, who managed the Patio Outlet and his wife, Rhonda who are opening Patio, Etc!!! And the best part for us?? They are opening right next door to us!!

When?

Tomorrow morning at 10am!

Congrats to Gary and Rhonda and congrats to the rest of us too!! We can BBQ with confidence again!!!
