Custom Picture Framing in Commerce, GA at Don Byram Art

Allison Whitehead shows off her recently acquired beautiful oil painting of Sapelo Island. Not only do we do regular size artwork...we do big stuff too!!! It turned out great! We could feel the ocean breeze by the time we got done!

Hartwell Railroad unit 3000 outside of Toccoa, GA

Saw the Hartwell 3000, a former Saint Lawrence & Atlantic unit on my way from our partners in Elberton, Petal Pushers Florist to our partners in Toccoa, Dream Giver's Gallery. I finally figured out the Hartwell RR is rolling, working train museum! They have another one called the "Grand Pumpkin" (yep, it's really, really orange). I've seen it, but haven't photographed it yet.

John Weber's Jekyll Island

Many of you know John Weber and admire his "Woodworks" series of artwork. I had him pose with "Jekyll Island North II" to give it some scale. He spends a tremendous amount of time making sure the right image is on the right piece of wood and is perfectly positioned. The result speaks for itself! $245 - http://pics4everyone.com/jeisnoii.html

Custom Picture Framing at Oglethorpe Fresh in Lexington, GA

Linda Helmly, Chief Cook and Bottlewasher of Oglethorpe Fresh Co-Op in Lexington (and our framing parnter) had us frame up this portrait of her Great Grandfather, David Henry Arnold. He built the first brick commercial building in Crawford a

the Great Cecile of C.Me.Glass at Chappelle Gallery in Watkinsville, GA

Double (triple) dipping on this post! Met a customer of Kathy Chappelle's yesterday at Chappelle Gallery in Watkinsville to discuss copying and printing her paintings via our Giclee canvas printing. Ran into the Great Cecile of C.Me.Glass a

nd had her show off her hand blown ornaments that Kathy sells, and I'm also showing off the DBA artwork at Chappelle Gallery behind Cecile which is titled "Rejocing". Poof! All bases covered:)

Cost Cutter's Outlet in Washington, GA

Dropped off and picked up wonderful framing and printing work in Washington today with our partner there, Cynthia Walker of Cost Cutter's Outlet. Then drove around. In real life this is the grain elevator behind the old Wilkes Mill & Feed. In my world, it's the broad shoulders of light and form.

"Georgia Theatre" by Don Byram at pics4everyone.com

UGA is back. Downtown has been plugged back in! This is called simply, "Georgia Theatre", but was taken before the fire. I like the shadow of the tree across the bottom because it has premonitory quality to it. The colors are crisp and bold. It is a Art Deco print of a Art Deco scene. 12x20 - $75 - Giclee Gallery Wrapped Canvas Print. http://pics4everyone.com/gethdonby.html

Storm clouds over Commerce Ga

We have all been thankful for the rain we have gotten over the last couple of weeks here in our part of Georgia, especially considering the condition most of country is in and the crops we depend on. This picture was taken early last week.

Frank and the Dollar General

Frank was reasonably certain that, historically speaking, the rainbow didn't end here and he was deeply concerned with the economic, cultural, and political ramifications, if in fact, it now terminated at this location.

the Great Cecile's of C.Me.Glass Lil Ce'ciles

A baby project one of our customers did with the Great Cecile's "Lil Ce'ciles". She built a colorful mobile over her changing table for her new born. And since these are glass and not plastic, these can stay with her girl, in many combinations and forms, over the years!! Thanks Joy for sharing!!

Custom Picture Framing in Lexington, GA.

Taken today while dropping off frame jobs in Lexington. Well, actually, I had already dropped off the frame jobs, not really during dropping off the frame jobs. That would have been a messy and rather silly thing to do. This is across the street from our framing partners in Lexington - Oglethorpe Fresh Artist, Farmers, Musician, Stylist and probably several other Co-Op things! Good stuff!

Custom Framing in Lexington, GA.

Michelle Smith (left) and her husband recently came across an artist they fell in love with whose work is now out of print. Fortunately, they were able to still buy some pieces directly from him. With the help of our partner Linda Hemly (right) of Oglethorpe Fresh Co-Op in Lexington they were able to frame their new treasures exactly the best way to show off the country charm of the art!

Custom Framing and Printing in Commerce, GA

Donna Whitaker brought the bottom picture in. It is from the old Hartwell Mill and has her Grandmother in the photo. It had fallen off the wall and it needed to be put back together. While it was apart, she wanted some new prints and frames for her siblings. The top picture is what we produced for her. We did both the printing and framing. Do you have a memory that needs to be updated and saved?

Frank and Sesame Street

Frank, who is still quietly traumatize from his failure as a child in an open "Sesame Street" audition at a local TV station, still finds secret pleasure using his "Count" voice to number the wonderful perfect circles of passing log trucks.
