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!

More window painting at Edmonton's Western GMC!

Western GMC is starting to look like my own personal art museum! So nice that those in command are so eager to have me paint on their windows. So thankful for that and that it's a great atmosphere to be in! 

This graphic is part of GMC's Boxing Days promotion, not my own. I really like how they did the snowflakes up at the top.

Western GMC has been "LAUREL-ITISED!"

Western GMC has been "LAUREL-ITISED! 

 What is "LAUREL-ITISED"? …. Well I think everywhere you turn at Western GMC you'll find some of my window painting! Jamie gave me instructions to "Go big! I want more than last year!" He wanted something all the way along the front of the showroom so I put Christmas bulbs. You'll find a big Santa, elves, Christmas tree, snowman (shown in a recent blog entry) and a couple more Santa designs in the Service Department (as shown here). Not to mention the a few window painting jobs of promotions that are still up and running. BOOM. It's been LAURELITISED!

 Thanks Western GMC for giving me your windows as my canvas. You're awesome!

My Window Painting Before The Outlines

My Window Painting Before The Outlines. I thought this was interesting photos to show you - What my window paintings look like JUST BEFORE I do the black outlines. Kinda cool! You'll notice in the second photo that a penguin appears in the middle … He was done especially for Chantel who works at the desk right there. She requested a penguin so she got a penguin. If I did it right, I think it's in the perfect spot for her to look at all day. She had gone home by the time I got there to work on it so I hope it makes her smile when she goes into work in the morning!

I SPENT THE DAY ON A SCAFFOLD!

For a girl who is slightly afraid of heights, Ross at Western GMC made me feel safe up on the scaffold. Watching me get down off the scaffold would have been amusing - graceful NOT! I’ll miss doing work at Western GMC (I don’t think they have any bare windows left!) .... till their next big promotion.

I'm at Western GMC Edmonton this week painting windows!

Spending some quality time at Western GMC this week painting windows!  The management are awesome and the salesmen more than happy to help me in any way.  There are some places I feel comfortable being a part of right away and others, not as much.  Western GMC is a good one!   Standing on their 10 ft ladder for these Window Paintings...
