Window Artist for Hire! :D

Since Girl's camp (explained in my previous post), I have been itching for more projects! I have had suggestions of what to do next, and I have really taken to the idea of painting windows on holidays.. or just any day for that matter. It sounds like a lot of fun to me, and I cannot wait to start! Only problem is.. who do I ask? How do I get myself noticed?

If anyone is interested, for a while I would love to try it out at no charge.. I just may need help buying new supplies (which are really cheap). I have been practicing on some sheets of glass that my mother-in-law has given me. So far I have found that my acrylic craft paints come off easily with a little Windex and water. I have done two fabulous paintings which have left my glass sheets unharmed, and like-new!


 This was my first piece. 
As you can see, I have painted it like I would from the outside of the window.  I probably spent half an hour - 45 minutes on this one.


And with my Windex and some paper towels, it came clean off! 


Following the first I did a second as if I were painting the inside of the window.


I realized that I had to first paint in black for the foreground and then I would later paint my background. I will admit that doing it this way was a challenge in the sense that everything needed to be done backwards (especially with the words. lol.). I am however very pleased with the results. :)


Here shows what it looked like once I painted the back. To get an idea of the size and lighting, I had my husband hold it up to the light for me while I snapped a picture. He was very pleased to help me.
