A young boy counts the school days that are left until summer vacation. His teacher raises the classroom windows in the warm afternoons. His jacket remains on the hall tree by the door and he rushes home with information about signing up for summer camp. On that most special of all mornings, he wakes up and before opening his eyes he knows the day has finally come; the first day of summer.
He quickly pulls on his overalls, grabs his glove and runs to the back porch where he stops, feels the sunshine on his shoulders, smiles and begins his Summer Poem!

Print Comes with original certificate. Bob Byerley "Painter of Our American Childhood". Bob Byerley - Close your eyes and think back to when you were eight years old. Back to a time when the windy rush of racing your bicycle down the highest hill in the neighborhood was the thrill of a lifetime, when everything was not only exciting, but also possible, when to have a story-spinning grandpa and a cool lemonade was to be marvelously happy.
The world of Bob Byerley is not his alone--we are all invited to disappear with him into that land of unfettered imagination, childhood. The artists photographic memory of his boyhood adventures combines with a talent honed by a lifetime of dedication to his craft to create these charming, innocent portraits of a simpler time. Byerley also brings his mastery of the realistic still life, rendered with microscopic detail, to the current style of his mature work. The effect of this fool-the-eye realism is so convincing that the viewer is drawn in and taken hold of by irresistible urges to peel curling labels from old boxes, pull strings on marionettes, or wipe the chocolate smears from a childs cheek. Technical mastery combined with an unlimited sense of funthis unique combination transforms first-time viewers into lifelong Byerley fans! His inner yearning to paint lured him from pre-med to fine art at the. Where he studied the Old Masters and completed both a bachelors and a masters degree. Bob then taught art for five years. The year 1970 was the beginning of his journey as a professional artist, taking him from abstract and political statements to a long careful perfection of realistic still life, and finally to his forterealistic, nostalgic depictions of the imaginative doings of his own childhood. Now, thirty-four years later, he is often called the Norman Rockwell of our time, favorably compared with Rembrandt and the Dutch Masters, and appreciated, highly collected, and much loved by collectors of art everywhere.
