Painting CFR Windows at The Westin Hotel Edmonton

Edmonton's Westin Hotel's Window Painting for CFR
 Window Painting for CFR at Edmonton's Westin Hotel's
It's CFR (Canadian Finals Rodeo) time again in Edmonton, where cowboys
and cowgirls from all over come to compete and show their stuff. The
Westin hotel in downtown Edmonton has had me come in for a few years
now, to paint their windows celebrating the festivities. They always ask
that it be less cartoon and more realistic.

While I was there painting, I over heard some conversations where I had
to do a double take....some of the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian
Football League were sitting a few feet away from me. I couldn't help
but listen, whether I wanted to or not! Being an Edmonton Eskimos fan I
was both excited that I was seeing some football players but they were
going to be playing AGAINST MY TEAM in a few hours! One of the people
that work at the hotel told me that most football and hockey teams stay
there when they are in the city to play. Kinda cool!

Oil City Roadhouse - CFR window paintings










This is my latest window painting for Oil City Roadhouse and the Canadian Finals Rodeo week celebration.
It was decided to have most of the images quite high on the windows for two reasons
  • visibility when the bar is full of people and

  • so that people won't try to wreck them.

  • Crazy what people will do in a bar! Have a great CFR week everyone

  • Remember if you drink then, don't drive.

  • Take the LRT door-to-door between Oil City Roadhouse and CFR [at rexall place].
  • LRT - Corona station & LRT - Coliseum station
  • CFR window paintings for Corus Entertainment Inc. (radio) in Edmonton






    I had a great time, once again, painting windows at Corus Entertainment (The building that houses CISN, JOE FM, CHED and COOL 880).
    It's nice receiving a "hello!" from radio personalities. It's always nice to be able to put a face to the voices that I hear on the radio all the time.

    Mike McGuire from CISN had me on the radio twice while I was painting the window of his sound booth! He suggested I mention how to get in touch with me if someone wanted some window painting done. I was thrilled to have the chance to promote the window painting part of my art.
    THANK YOU MIKE for giving me that opportunity! I am presently doing a cartoon of him as an official thank you . . . look for it on my blog soon . . . or on the Mike McGuire blog!
