The Ramada Inn in Belleville asked me and another artist to do a painting on three windows overlooking their pool area (inside). The main reason for this was that they couldn't clean the windows properly on the outside without someone "walking the plank" or getting wet in the pool!
Anyway this is it. They wanted it wash-offable (is that a word?) so we used tempera. However, I don't recommend this as it is difficult not to leave streaks where areas of paint overlap. I think acrylics would have been easier to paint with, but they would have had to scrape it off, if they ever wanted a change or did not like the painting.
The beach scene was chosen to make the pool area feel tropical and warm.
