Do you ever get ideas while driving? I spend a lot of time behind the wheel, with time to think. I had
the idea to paint on the glass of one of these old
windows recently...something "Louisiana"...
so I tackled it today.
I bought several of these old windows just the other
day at a junk shop...this one would be perfect. The
glass is really old and slightly wavy, very cool. I
washed it off really well, careful not to knock off all the
old chipped paint. I started on the bird inside the
house, and then decided to move outside when it
got really messy (me slinging and dripping paint,
and old, chipped paint crumbling to the floor)
I added the details (not many) last, and then sealed the whole thing: the wood with a heavy
coat to seal all the chipping paint, and the
painted glass with a spray sealer. I may
mount another piece of glass over the painting
to protect it, and give it a shadow box effect.
Still thinking about it...but I like the way it
turned out. too much fun...
