Deeds Carillon at Golden Hour No. 2

The Story:      Colonel and Mrs. Edward Deeds commissioned Ohio’s largest musical instrument and gifted it to the Dayton community in 1942.  Today, the 57-bell tower…known as Deeds Carillon…remains one of the city’s most cherished landmarks and is proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  On this summer evening, towering cumulonimbus clouds built over the Miami Valley while the setting sun washed the limestone in warm golden light.

When the 151-foot carillon was first completed, 32 bells were installed…one for each member of the Deeds family.  A major renovation in 1988 introduced 50 new bells cast in Holland, and by 1995, seven more were added, bringing the total to 57.  The smallest honors a Deeds grandchild, while the largest, named Bourbon, represents Colonel Deeds himself.

Rest of the Story:  This evening felt undeniably special. Thunderstorms were forming to the south, their bright white updrafts rising like cathedral spires against the deep blue sky. Mid-June had left Dayton at its lushest…green lawns, full canopies, and the soft hum of summer drifting through the park.

Product Description

A summer evening view of Dayton’s Deeds Carillon, softly illuminated by golden sunset light as cumulonimbus clouds rise in the distance over lush green grounds.

Colonel and Mrs. Edward Deeds commissioned Ohio’s largest musical instrument and gifted it to the Dayton community in 1942. Today, the 57-bell tower…known as Deeds Carillon…remains one of the city’s most cherished landmarks and is proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places. On this summer evening, towering cumulonimbus clouds built over the Miami Valley while the setting sun washed the limestone in warm golden light.
When the 151-foot carillon was first completed, 32 bells were installed…one for each member of the Deeds family. A major renovation in 1988 introduced 50 new bells cast in Holland, and by 1995, seven more were added, bringing the total to 57. The smallest honors a Deeds grandchild, while the largest, named Bourbon, represents Colonel Deeds himself.
Rest of the Story: This evening felt undeniably special. Thunderstorms were forming to the south, their bright white updrafts rising like cathedral spires against the deep blue sky. Mid-June had left Dayton at its lushest…green lawns, full canopies, and the soft hum of summer drifting through the park.
Against that backdrop, Deeds Carillon glowed. The warm light, the gathering clouds, and the timeless silhouette created a peaceful harmony that stays with me even now. Perhaps that is why this print has become such a favorite across Dayton’s healthcare spaces. The scene carries a quiet reassurance…a reminder of beauty, music, and community pride—values that have always run deep in our region.

Framed Giclee Canvas Prints

My canvas prints originate from the highest quality equipment and techniques which produce an impressively vibrant and sturdy print.  Features of My Framed Giclee Canvas Prints include:
 

  • Light Weight:  Lacking the need of glass and matting, these canvas prints are light weight
  • More Print for Your Money:  Avoiding expensive glass and matting lowers costs
  • Archival:  The pigment inks are archival rated at 95 years
  • No Gallery-wrapped Hazards:  My framed giclee canvas prints avoid the hazards of traditional gallery wrapped canvas prints (print edges easily mar and the canvas tends to relax and warp).  My canvas is mounted to a solid surface so it will never warp and the outer frame protects the print’s edges.
  • Ready to Hang.  Your canvas print comes ready to hang with single wire fastened to two sturdy D-ring hangers (quality D-rings resist wire tension vice eye hooks).  We employ a plastic-coated wire which mitigates corrosion, prevents stray strands from puncturing a finger, and permits easier leveling of frame.  In paying attention to details, we also properly wire frame with some tension which ensures canvas hangs close to wall.
  • Optional Z-bar:  For larger prints (if requested), we employ a two-piece mounting cleat in lieu of a hanging wire.  In this option, the cleat attached to the back of the print fits securely over the reverse cleat that you attached to the wall.
  • Watermark:  The final print you receive will not have a watermark.
  • Documentation:  I attached a certificate of authenticity to the back of each print.
  • Large Canvas Prints:  Though I can produce prints up to 40 x 60 inches, shipping in sizes 30 x 45 inches and above is expensive.  If you live in the Miami Valley, reach out to me about obtaining access to these larger print sizes.
  • Shipping Times:  Creating the print takes about 2 weeks and can be ready for immediate local pick up.  For those outside the Miami Valley, I have dedicated boxes and shipping takes an additional 3 to 5 days.

Metal Prints

People are amazed by these metal prints…from the reactions I witness at art shows and exhibitions, I call them “eye candy”.  Dye sublimation prints offer the following characteristics:
 

  • Incredibly vibrant:  My prints start with a white gloss substrate which produces vivid colors and enthusiastic comments 
  • Extremely durable:  Our printer employs verified archival materials, so if handled properly the print will last over 100 years.  
  • Cleans easily:  If cleaning is required, owners can employ soft cloth.
  • Saves money:  Unlike paper prints which require protective glass, there is no need to cover the metal surface.  With no glass, there’s no longer a need for the expensive framing, matting and labor which drives up the cost for traditional paper prints.
  • Ready to hang:  We attach mounts to the back of the metal prints which provide gallery-preferred hang points, and elevates the print off the wall producing a floating effect.  
  • Optional Z-bar:  For larger prints (if requested), we employ a two-piece mounting cleat in lieu of a hanging wire.  In this option, the cleat attached to the back of the print fits securely over the reverse cleat that you attached to the wall. 
  • Watermark:  The final print you receive will not have a watermark. 
  • Documentation:  I attached a certificate of authenticity to the back of each print.
  • Large Metal Prints:  Though I can produce prints up to 30 x 45 inches shipping is expensive.  If you live in the Miami Valley, reach out to me about obtaining access to these larger print sizes.  
  • Shipping Times:  Creating the print takes about 2 weeks and can be ready for immediate local pick up.  For those outside the Miami Valley, I have dedicated boxes and shipping takes an additional 3 to 5 days.

Photopaper Prints

People are amazed by these metal prints…from the reactions I witness at art shows and exhibitions, I call them “eye candy”.  Dye sublimation prints offer the following characteristics:
 

  • Archival:  Our printer employs verified archival materials, where the pigments are rated at 95 years provided the print is protected from UV Rays. 
  • Flexibility:  Ordering a print on photopaper allows clients to make their own framing and matting decisions for the ultimate customization experience. 
  • Watermark:  The final print you receive will not have a watermark. 
  • Documentation:  I include a certificate of authenticity with each print.  Once you frame the print, your framer can attach it to the rear of the print.
  • Final Product:  I have dedicated shipping tubes to hold the print until your framer is ready to mount and frame the print.
  • Shipping Times:  Creating the print takes about 2 weeks and can be ready for immediate local pick up.  For those outside the Miami Valley, I have dedicated shipping tubes which take an additional 3 to 5 days for shipping.
