March Madness

Painting March Madness and Easter Images on Windows and Doors
Daffodils
Daffodils are among the flower faces that early spring delivers. Include them in the Easter decor!
Spring delivers a wonderful soft palette with the arrival of budding trees and flower folk. The occasions of Easter and St. Patrick's Day are filled with frolicking creatures and characters and are loaded with fun details. I had the occasion to create a new theme for an event that coincides with these holidays. March Madness is a new addition to my painting portfolio and routine. 
Normally for Spring I paint something like this - Easter Bunnies chicks, duckies, shamrocks, Spring flowers .... and Leprechauns

Easter Bunny and Leprechaun pal up on this set of Spring windows. The color theme is pastel and images of the season combined. St. Patrick's Day is usually too close to Easter to do separate sets so I just combine them.

hamrocks are woven in with the Spring and Easter decor. This is a lot of fun as I get to practice my basket weave technique and paint little duckies and chicks.

​The Leprechaun was accented with glitter glue and that added a nice finish to the pot of gold and various other details. The glitter was a fun albeit messy addition to the window paint.

​When applying glitter pen, please note the glue will peel and only last a couple of weeks so use it sparingly. Below are some highlights from this Easter - Spring set of window paintings.

I was contacted by McFadden's Irish Pub in Town Square of Las Vegas to paint a set of lines that could be used as the tournament brackets for the March Madness basketball finals. Unfortunately, I was already booked and this project would not be completed in a single day. I had to do the work after my shift in order to paint it at all. This is part of my dilema. I work a full time job driving cab at night and it takes all of my spare time. I paint when I can when the energy is there.

This was going to be a serious challenge not only to my painting talent, but my physical abilities. The window set was 13 feet high which means ladder work. The lines needed to be absolutely level and in correct proportion so I would have to really do my homework on  spacing and placement. It is at these times I am extremely grateful for painters tape and China markers!

The painting took me about 14 hours in small time sections to complete. I only wish I had better lighting for the images, but this is what I had to work with. I am happy with the opportunity to do something new and creative and the manager contacted me to let me know that the creation was a big hit. I will be painting it again next season. This next year, March first is reserved specifically for this project. Thank you, McFaddens! This was an interesting challenge...
