I like the posters and I also like the black frame best. The only
comment I have is that I would prefer to see the posters spaced
out a bit on the wall, and we might even consider hanging three on
the main entry wall and one behind the chair if it would be
visible. We could experiment with the positioning. Just my
preference but others may feel differently. Phil, thanks for
researching this and putting it together. I think this art would
really add a lot to the atmosphere in the entryway.<br class="">

<div class="">Attached is a pdf with a proposal for
putting up four 36”x24” “arty” posters of the four major
California railroads. The idea is to change the look of
the North Entrance after the great paint job and make it
much cleaner and modern looking, but with art that is
evocative of the golden age of passenger travel by rail.
These will represent the four primary (Class 1)
railroads focused to California: SF/ATSF, SP, UP, and
the WP. The posters are of signature passenger trains of
each railroad, generally in the art deco to realism
period (not photos). I think there is a story to be told
using them, some thoughts in the pdf. The four posters
shown in the pdf are from eBay and are $35 each (free
shipping) in a 24”x36” poster configuration. So four
posters would be $140. If anyone has other poster
options for the railroads, please suggest (or if you
have a good one at home).</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Also shown are three frame options from
Michaels. They range from $110 to $154 for the four
frames (after discounts). I personally thing the black
frame that is about 1.25 inches wide is best and those
are $127 for four, so the total for the posters and
frames is $267.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">After discussing it Friday after the
business meeting, there seemed to be general agreement
this makes sense. Much of the existing artwork is either
faded or wrinkled. Putting up a bunch of misc. art or a
bunch of Orchard things is going to look cluttered. This
will be a very clean and new look and will be very
noticeable to anyone who has been coming for the last
few years (especially Jerome). I think the investment is
a good one for the new look it will give our “lobby”.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Please respond if this makes sense. If so, I
will order the posters and get some frames to look at
next Friday.</div>
