As an artist participating in this year's window painting event for the Downtown Wilkes-Barre Business Association, I had the pleasure of working at the Anthracite Newsstand yesterday.
For those who may not know, the Anthracite Newsstand recently sold a $4.2 million lottery ticket. Read more about that here.
Hence, the theme of their windows this year is Winner Wonderland. The owners came up with that brilliant idea.
All I had to do was paint the winning concept.
I had fun painting those dollar bills. Hee! Hee! Gotta love capitalism!
I worked from noon to 5 p.m. painting their windows, and had a most enjoyable time. A big thank you to Bob, Bettye Lou, Samantha and the entire staff at the Anthracite Newsstand for their kindness and generosity. I sincerely appreciate it!
Today, I took a walk around Wilkes-Barre to look at all the other window paintings.
The snowman in the window of Dunkin' Donuts looks very happy holding a warm drink and a doughnut. I wonder if he's drinking hot chocolate or vanilla chai tea.
My friend Diane Grant Czajkowski did a fantastic painting for Barnes & Noble.
The details are amazing.
Oh, Christmas Tree!
~A lovely Christmas wreath~
I love the colors in this Christmas tree. The artist did a wonderful job!

Oh, wow, that was fun!!! you all did a great job, and just wait til Christmas nears, all the kids are going to have their Christmas memories...just like in the old movies!
I was excited when I won 30.00 on my lottery ticket, someday though!
lots of hugs!
Nice work! I love the christmas tree and the wreath and of course snowman are always a fav...especially when they are touting the winning of millions of dollars. I keep telling my hubby that we need to win the lottery but it's pretty hard to do considering I never play it! :-) He did win $200 gas last week from Geico at the food show though!
hey lady--that looks crooked there...
Fast Eddie, you're lucky I know you!
