Happy [Belated] Thanksgiving!

Yesterday, we went to ESJ Towers and celebrated our own Thanksgiving. It was nice; all of us together!

Here are some pictures from the day:

Our homemade dinner:Mmm, dessert! It's not pumpkin pie... but I'd been wanting brownies (and ice cream! Yum!)!

I hope wherever you celebrated and whoever you celebrated with, your Thanksgiving was full of thanks and good food!

Finally...

As I was looking back through previous posts, I realized that I never posted to show the completed work of my store window-front paintings (post titled Sneak Peak).

A little bit about the job:

I work at an educational supplements store, Creative Curriculum. We had just moved to a new location and my boss asked if I would be interested in painting our name on the window. I did, of course! I painted some kids (similar to a product we carry, Stick Kids by Creative Teaching Press), our company name, and our hours of operation. Here are some final pictures... only a few months late! :)

Here's the other job --

I was asked to paint a window front for a karate/church/massage clinic with quite a few words. The work was very extensive and tedious as lettering is more difficult than pictures. There were five windows all together: two doors, and three large windows. But as always, I was up for the challenge.

The doors:
Window 1:
Window 2:
Window 3:
The whole window front:

I had a lot of fun working on these pieces! I hope this post is an inspiration for something great!
