John S. Berryman was a Harley-Davidson motorcycle dealer and later an auto dealer who also raced Harleys. He was also part of the ORIGINAL National Capitol Motorcycle Club of Washington DC. He once held a race called the Berryman Run. He is the person on the 1915 Harley-Davidson motorcycle. This dealership was a few blocks from the White House.

I digitize old black and white photos and create color compositions; digital paintings. It's more than simply colorizing. I strive to create art; a visual gateway to the past, but in a new and different way. This all started in 2006 in Palm Springs where I had an art gallery. Street scenes from black and white postcards were the most popular and have won the most awards. Two examples are Chi Chi and Cubana and Radio City - Hollywoodland. I love doing people too, as you can tell.

Look for the red Live Preview banner in the lower right hand corner of this screen. It might take a second or two to appear. Click on that, and you can view this image on ten sample walls, or even Upload a Photo of your own wall as a background to view the art on! Directions on how to use the Live Preview are available here. Have fun playing with something really useful!
