THE GIFT-CHILDREN
MEET THE ARTIST
Bob Byerley
Considered a painter of nostalgic Americana, Bob Byerley and his beautifully detailed paintings delve into the precious imaginations of children. Byerley’s paintings take us to a peaceful place, where dreams are big and playing is safe. Though the mood of his work is nostalgic, Byerley’s children are highly vivid and their experiences so classic, it is easy to imagine the events occurring for today’s youth as well as yesterday’s. His wonderfully whimsical images have gained national and international recognition. And this is no surprise as Byerley himself states, “the smile of a child is understood around the world.”

TIMELESS HOME DECOR
Every day after school, the boys would race down to Bill’s Motorcycle Repair Shop. If you were seven years old, the shop was magical. It was better than an amusement park, a zoo and a movie house all put together. The boys would follow Bill around and ask him a million questions, “What does this do Bill, where does this go, how much would this part cost?” Their one collective dream was to someday own their own motorcycle. One afternoon in late September their dream came true. The old Indian bike had sat around the garage for years; Bill had even forgotten where he had picked it up. For Bill, it was fall housecleaning; for the boys it was “the gift.”
