You can provide non-persistent property of image type wrapping low-level byte[] type like here:

[Field]
private byte[] ImageData { get; set; }

// No [Field]
public Image Image { 
  get { return Deserialize(ImageData); }
  set { return ImageData = Serialize(value); }
}

Of course, this is just an example. Ideally, it's better to cache deserialized image as well to avoid frequent deserialization.

Any way we can support this natively, as was available in DO 3.9?

Unfortunately, DataObjects.Net 4.3/4.4 doesn't support the Image type natively yet. I hope, we'll add the feature to automatically store and fetch objects of any serializable types in future versions.
