WINDOW PAINTINGS by Marie Marfia		Commission work Click here to see work I've done on commission How I make a painting Click here to see how a painting comes together Email me if you're interested in an image not presented here or an on-site installation. Care and feeding of window paintings Your window should last a long time. I've installed window paintings directly on south windows and never had a problem with fading colors. If you ever have a problem with your window fading, let me know and I'll make it right. To clean it, use a damp cloth on the painted side. You can use regular window cleaner on the non-painted side. Not appropriate for small children! A word of caution: Even though the paintings are whimsical in nature, these are not appropriate for hanging in rooms that are frequented by small children or pets. Since the windows are old and wooden the paint is constantly chipping off them and I have no way of telling whether the flakes are lead-based paint or not. Best to be safe and hang them where little hands can't reach them or just wait to buy until your kids are old enough not to go around putting non-food items in their mouths.
Welcome to the place where I have some of the most fun! These are paintings made using Gallery Glass paint on old windows that I find or buy or have given to me by friends. The designs and compositions are all originals and copyrighted. Each painting represents many hours of work done by hand. I don't use stencils. All the paintings have eyehooks on top with a chain attached for hanging. Please note: none of the prices listed includes shipping or Florida sales tax (7%). If you are interested in purchasing one of these windows and you don't live in Jacksonville, FL, email me to find out what it would cost to send it to you via UPS. Thanks for stopping.
	Rainbow Cat in the Clouds This is a whimsical kitty flying through the sky. The body of the cat is transparent so you can peek through to see what the weather's like. The clouds are done with pearl white paint with a bit of blue swirled into the curlicues. The frame is white on one side and olive green on the other. Outside of the frame measures 30" wide x 20" tall. Click on the picture for a larger image. Can be seen at Stephanie's Custom Framing and Art Gallery, 544 College Drive, Middleburg, FL. $125.
	Dragonfly Tree This is a six-panel window with mottled tree branches over a bright blue background. There are leaves in three different shades of green on the top quarter of the painting. There are also three dragonflies in three panes—red, orange and yellow. The frame is white on both sides. Outside of the frame measures 36" wide x 27" tall. Click on the picture for a larger image.

	Gator This is a happy alligator on a sandbank under a crescent moon. The window measures approximately 30" wide x 20" tall and can be seen at the Antique Market of Jacksonville, 5107 San Jose Boulevard, Jacksonville FL.
	Gator with Live Oak Tree This alligator was commissioned by a couple who were homesick for Louisiana. They've moved to Philadelphia and can't quite get used to the cold winters up there. It was done on a small, single-paned window, about 24" wide by 16" tall.
	Gator in Cypress Swamp This painting features an alligator in the foreground with a moon overhead and a small alligator head just floating along in the water in the background. I did this on commission using a large, six-panel window that measured approximately 36" wide x 27" tall. Click on the picture for a larger image. Email me if you're interested in a similar painting.
	Oh My Goth! This features a classic skull and crossbones in the center of the window flanked by a bleeding heart and a bloody red rose. There is a border of tiny skulls linked together by a chain. The background color is a combination of gray and blue swirls. One of the teeth on the grinning skull is gold. His eyes are red in a black field. The frame is practically paint free and what still shows is white on one side and black on the other. Outside of the frame measures 31 5/8" wide x 19 1/4" tall.

	Seashells This painting shows six different types of seashells that are common to Jacksonville, Florida beaches. The backgrounds for each shell are horizontally textured. Most of the shells feature three or more colors swirled together for a more realistic effect. The frame is white on both sides and measures 36" wide x 27" tall. Click on the picture for a larger image. $175.
	Mr. Golden Sun This painting features a big yellow smiling sun in the middle with moons in various phases in the corners. The frame is white on both sides. It measures 23 3/4" wide x 27" tall. Click on the picture for a larger image. $125.
	Jungle Cats This is a three-panel window painting featuring a yellow tiger kitty and a purple kitty playing hide and seek. The jungle foliage is borrowed from Rousseau but the design and composition are my own. The frame is white on both sides and measures 28" wide x 19 1/2" tall. Click on the picture for a larger image. Can be seen at Stephanie's Custom Framing and Art Gallery, 544 College Drive, Middleburg, FL. $125.
	Dessert First This is a six-panel window painting featuring some of my favorite things to eat — desserts! My inspiration was an animated classic movie called "The Tune." In one song (it's a musical, of course) different foods start singing love songs to each other. There's a little personality showing up in the cake and the pie panels in this painting. The frame is white on both sides and measures 36" wide x 27" tall. Click on the picture for a larger image. $175.
