The Gallery at Tac Air, Lexington, KY

After working with the staff at the new Tac Air fixed base operation in Lexington a few years ago, we were engaged to maintain a gallery of art for display and purchase in their terminal.  It is a wonderful space with lots of daily traffic and it is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week!

We are especially proud of the offering we have compiled for the opening of racing season this spring in the bluegrass. We have some wonderful pieces featuring an array of styles of equine art...pieces on paper, canvas, pastel, oil, large and small.  I have posted some pictures but nothing is a substitute for seeing it in person.  The great thing is you can go any time, the doors are always open.

The artists being exhibited are Brian Fox, Marjorie Guyon, D. Lee, Erica Nordean and Rickelle Nelson.  Click the link below for a view of some of the current pieces:

Displaying Photos in a Modern Way

Starting with great digital photographs, we were able to enlarge these files to make a statement as wall art. Printing on Optica Fine Art Paper and treated with a UV/ moisture resistant coating allows these images to be displayed without mats or glass.  We have coined a term for this treatment, "Photo Floats," meaning that we drymount the photos to foam core and then apply a thin wooden strainer strip on the back.  This provides rigidity and structure to the photo and allows the image to appear to be floating off the wall. A fresh, modern look that is also an economical way to showcase an image!

This example is one photo that has been printed in three sections and hung as a grouping for dramatic effect.  It was a stunning photo together, but the floating images in triptych makes a great centerpiece for the over the bed.

Photo Frames

I have been away from blogging for a while, facebook became my new obsession. Our new venture in 2010 joining with Photo Therapy has become now a bit of our "New Normal" and we find ourselves enjoying the marriage of photography and framing!

Recently at a trade show in Las Vegas I took a new look at some of the more unique photo frame vendors. I found a lovely company in New York City that makes hand carved, gold leafed frames that have a kind of heirloom quality to them.

Even the backs of the frames are completely covered in paper (that matches the box they come in) with bronze closures. I ordered a dozen of them, in 5 x 7 size to see if I could find a market for them. If you see them and have the need for a little splurge, you will want your bridal portrait, new baby photo or restored picture of your parents to live in this frame for generations!

They are that special! Come see them in person.

The Kentucky 2010 Silk Scarf as Wall Art

The Kentucky 2010 Silk Scarf is becoming a very popular item, many ladies have been coming in to get one to wear to the games or out with friends. While it is very wearable, we think it is quite lovely as wall art as well. Here are two examples of how they look stretched and framed.

One is in a lovely gold frame that has an embossed design in the panel. Very traditional in its profile and feel.

The other expample is in a black contemporary cube style frame, with the inner lip of the frame in gold. A bit smaller frame presence and definately more transitional.

There is no wrong way to frame this lovely silk scarf! Check out the scarf in person at our shop, or order one directly from our website and it will come to your door!

Enjoy!
