Hands down outstanding service from Blue Wing Gallery. Two plus decades ago I saw a mid-century modern nude in a bar called Capay Junction in Esparto, CA. The image sat on a wall behind the bar and it was beautiful I never bothered to find out who the artist was, and this I very much regretted when the bar burned to the ground within the last decade. Fast forward to spring of 2026, and I am reading the Smuggler's Cove (San Francisco tiki bar) book and see the exact piece of art in the book that is also showcased in their bar. I Google imaged it and learned who the artist was, and that began my search on the internet. I was able to find the piece on Ebay, but it was beyond my price range. Then in June 2026 I was an an estate sale in Sacramento, and there she was in all her glory in the garage. I immediately bought the print that was fastened to a piece of masonite in a raw frame. Later the following week I began my search for frames for this huge print on Facebook Marketplace, Etsy etc.. I decided to inquire locally to get an idea of what it would cost to mat and frame this piece I've wanted for decades, and was now mine. I went into Blue Wing first before heading to big box framers (Michael's), and this was the absolute best decision ever. Staff at Blue Wing evaluated the piece in person, and there was some concern on my behalf and theirs how the print was lifting off the masonite at the rectagular edges of the raw frame. They researched other places where I could potentially purchase a fresh print, and we discussed how much I liked the oval frame presentation at Smuggler's Cove, and they suggested in oval mat in a rectangular frame, so I could achieve the elegant look to highlight the image but with a rectangular frame. This would help me to achieve the look I wanted, without the exorbinate cost of an oval frame, while preserving the entire print and mitigating the issue of further lifting off the masonite. Measurements were taken, and a mat color and frame were chosen, as well as museum glass to mitigate excessive glare because the piece was so large, for an estimate. I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the pricing was, and I did not have to look further. I felt very secure in leaving this task to Blue Wing professionals in the business, vs. folks who just "work at a store who provides framing". Blue Wing cut a template of the oval mat for me to review, to ensure the elements of the image were fully captured to my liking. The completed project was outstanding, and they finished the matting and framing a week before the anticipated delivery date. Not only was I happy for how the piece turned out, but their engagement, professional suggestions and patience was top notch. I picked up the newly matted and framed image today, and its outstanding! I 100% recommend Blue Wing for your framing needs. They are professional, engaging, and demonstrate the goal of achieving what the customer desires for their art, with very reasonable pricing and excellent service! read more

This gallery and framing shop in Woodland is a true gem! I am extremely glad that I stopped in to ask about framing while on my way to Michael's a few years ago. All of the artwork and photos that hang on the walls of my home have been framed by Al and Sandy at Blue Wing, and they look fabulous! In addition to expert framing (and this really is an art in itself that Sandy does superbly), the gallery has artwork on display from local and regional artists. They also host special events including First Friday in downtown Woodland. Do yourself a favor and stop in Blue Wing if you're interested in getting some artwork or photos framed, or you're interested in art. HIGHLY recommended. read more

GO ANYWHERE ELSE I took old family photographs in to be reproduced two months ago and they never did the order nor did they communicate. I asked for a quote to be emailed, it was, sloppily. Nothing was itemized. I asked for more detail and heard back only after asking repeatedly. I revised my order to exclude two items. I asked for a turnaround at each communication and never got an answer. I continued to request updates without any response. Two months later I went in to pick up the order--after emailing to say I was coming--they did not reply. They did not do any of the work. When asked for an explanation about the lack of communication the question was ignored. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. read more

Arrived at 5:30 to get a custom painting framed. They were closed, no sign. Posted hours said open until 6. Not very reassuring.

Al was amazing! I had been looking for a specific map that my husband really wanted for his birthday and after calling and searching for it everywhere, Yolo County Archives called Al and he helped me right away. He had the map in the shop with frame. I told him my budget and worked with me on it. I always try to shop local anywhere I go and I highly recommend coming here for art work or if you are looking for something specific he might have it. I will be coming back again and my husband loved his birthday gift. Thank you Al! read more

I needed a picture frame fixed, tried a local big box, they told me it could not be done, and wanted to charge me over $600 for a new frame. I went to Blue Wing, explained what I needed and they fixed it, on time, for a tenth of the price. They were friendly, explained what I needed and they are a locally owned business. I will never go anywhere else to get my framing done. True professionals and genuinely nice people. read more
