Edmonton Artists Tim Hortons Window painting
184 Street and 111 Ave in West Edmonton

Last night I painted my third Tim Hortons restaurant in 3 nights - I am a bit tired now... It was nice weather so that helped, it can get quite cold painting windows near the doors.  I guess I should keep count but I have painted a lot of Santas on Windows.  I try to make each one special and somewhat unique.  

When I paint windows I try to make them look good inside and outside.  It takes a bit longer but I hope people like the results.  Making windows a little festive is fun and when the days are short it adds a bit of colour to the restaurant.

Cheers, Laurel

Christmas Window Painting at Western GMC Edmonton

I am always welcomed by friendly faces at Western GMC. I’ve painted their windows for a few years and I feel right at home when I go there. I’ll be doing more images for them but here are a couple I finished this evening. These windows are about 9 or 10 feet high so this is one great big Santa!

I seem to always gravitate to one theme each year as I do all my Christmas window painting and I think that this year it’s TOQUES! A toque is a winter hat for those of you who don’t know this very Canadian word. It is pronounced: “Two - k” I wonder what kind of TOQUE fun I can get into over the next few days while I finish up some Christmas window painting!

Christmas Window Painting at NewWest Travel

Today, while window painting, I got to listen to people booking trips to warmer places. Sigh. Oh how I'd love to put on a pair of shorts and head somewhere warm! Well, maybe AFTER Christmas. After all, there's nothing like snow at Christmas time!

Each year I scratch my head trying to come up with new images that are both Christmasy AND hit on taking a vacation. Here are this year's NewWest Travel windows. My favourite I think is the Santa. Or maybe it's the cool lookin' reindeer holding the map. Either way, I pat myself on the back for coming up with new stuff for them again this year … and also wonder what the heck I'm gonna do on their windows next year.

Christmas window painting at Hap's Restaurant

Hap's Restaurant on Edmonton's 161 Ave and Stoney Plain road (in West Edmonton) is one of my favourite places to window paint at. The owners, Hap and Mary, pretty much give me free reign on what I paint. Not to mention that Mary usually stays and decorates the restaurant while I paint and we chat about life and our families! She supplies me with bottomless tea, a nice meal and lots of laughs.

Hap's restaurant is a family owned business open during breakfast and lunchtime hours. Go in for some good food and cozy decor!

The 2012 Edition of Christmas windows at Western GMC!

I love painting at Santa on their windows because they are so huge. This
Santa stands about 8 or 9 feet tall. Of course he's holding a key to one
of the cars in the showroom that I'd love to have!

The tall, thin window at the front entrance is always a spot that makes
me use my artistic brain a bit ... this year, it's elves! And I think
this snowman is very friendly and welcoming. They've asked me to come
in and add more than I did last year so there'll be another trip in! I
love their Christmas spirit!
