Look Through Any Window . . . well, except mine


Tom asked to see people's window views. Since mine is a boring neighborhood, I thought I'd show the scene I painted for my kitchen window. It has some serious wear from being rolled up and down every day. And by the way, it was my little joke to cram Rome all together like that.

  1. What a lovely view! Did you paint it on a roll up blind? I once painted on a shower curtain liner. I taught in an open space school with lots of dividers and shelves. I hung my painting over a shelf to hide all the teacher junk I had stored there. Sometimes you just have to hide a bad view. :)

  2. I sewed up two lengths of canvas to make it wide enough for the window. The view outside is nice. Nice and boring!

  3. I'd love to see what's behind the blind. This is cheating!

    Did my Magic Wand work?

    Bisou, Cro.

  5. Yes Amy, if you take a picture of the real view, Cro can paint a copy of it on a roller blind so he doesn't have to look at all those bloody fields and trees.
