Arctic Circle

I was asked to paint the windows at Arctic Circle here in town for spring and to advertise the stuffed animals they are putting in kids meals. They asked me to make it cute and springy and to incorporate the ducks and bunnies and 75 cent burgers everyday. That gave me a little room, and I had lots of fun with it. My favorite part is the funky lettering! It was also nice to be able to paint without my fingers freezing! Welcome spring indeed! The same design, with a few variations, is on two opposite sides of the building and the ducks and bunnies are on the front.

Simple Easter Window

I guess this isn't technically what you would call a border, but it's the same idea. It took about the same amount of time so it would cost about the same. Despite the overall simplicity, it's one of my favorites so far! I tried out a few new techniques and it was fun to experiment a little.

Springtime animals

There are lots of fun springtime animals to paint, but 3 fit best on this window. Mr. Sheep, Ms. Duck, and Mrs. bunny. I tried to tie them in with each other with their long limbs. :) Stay tuned for some more spring time animal motifs!

Eggs! E-G-Z!

I think I could paint eggs all day long. Basic shape, choose a fun color and then put whatever you want on it! Perfect! Here are four simple ones I painted last week.

C'mon Spring!

I'm not sure I see the signs of spring in Eastern Idaho yet, but it will be here before we know it and the businesses want to stay ahead. So I'm starting to practice some ideas for spring themed windows. Here's the first of a few ideas I have. Once again, wish I had a better camera. I tried some new things on this window which I thought turned out well. It was a really fun one to paint.
