A Final Salute

Our recent trip to Athens, GA reminded us of how precious each day is. Although we were there to attend a photography convention and attend seminars, we found ourselves in the midst of a community coming together to mourn the loss of a police officer who was shot and killed while working in the community. Several thousand police officers along with family and friends gathered in an adjacent area of the conference center to remember their colleague and friend. Many attending the convention also paused from their activities to witness the procession. With literally thousands in the area, only the sound of a bagpiper could be heard as Officer Elmer "Buddy" Christian received a final salute.

Creating personalized art for our clients is only half of the service we provide for them. The other dimension of our approach is to coordinate the finished piece with the room and decor of the individual home or office environment. In each case, the design process begins before the art is created. We begin the process with the end in mind.

What is the style of the room and taste of the client?

What size is appropriate for the space?

What are the interests and personality of the subject, etc.

What style frame will complement the portrait and blend with the room?

With these factors in mind, we begin the creative process that will carry through until the art is installed for the client. The entire process is enjoyable, but the best part is unveiling the finished art and seeing what was once imagined become a lasting reality.
