Window Painting for Hudsons Edmonton

I was in at 3 Hudsons locations this week painting hockey stuff! “#HudsonsGameDay” and instead of painting hockey sticks and pucks, I thought that my hockey players had a bit more pizzaz!

Edmonton's UofA Campus Hudsons window painting

I was back at Hudson’s for a second year, painting shamrocks for their St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

I feel like the shamrock expert now! Here’s a close up from the inside to see the brush strokes. The real trick here is to NOT get bored of painting the same thing over and over again! It’s a bit like meditation because you can only go at a certain pace and you don’t have to think too hard because well, once you’ve painted one shamrock you know what you’re doing … but you still need to be on the ball enough to NOT fall off the ladder or stool you’re standing on! AND at the same time, still want to do a quality job, always wanting to be proud of the work you’ve done. And thankfully Hudson’s plays good music! Another added bonus while working. I hate to admit it but its a little bit like torture when I’m working on location and they are playing country music.

 So, to make a long story short, today’s result is … a whole bunch shamrocks for passers by and patrons to enjoy!

window painting for Canada Day at Hudsons

    I spent a few mornings this week painting maple leafs on the windows at Hudsons locations around the city.  This is stage one because their plan is to have me back in in a couple weeks, closer to Canada Day, to add more maple leafs as well as “Made In Canada”.

   Oh, and don’t they look crisp?  Those lovely maple leafs of ours!  Can’t you tell that I’m more than a little patriotic.  It may not be perfect but Canada is a great place to call home.  Oh Canada!  Happy Canada Day everyone (July 1st 2012).  Celebrating 145 years
