Idea: Painting business windows

Another great small town small business idea:

If you can draw, consider painting windows of small businesses in your town. A local artist used to do a healthy side business of decorating business windows with seasonal designs. Since we can’t draw at all, we miss her!

Could you provide a similar service in your small town? All you need is a vehicle, paints, brushes, and some talent!

UPDATE: An online resource for window painters is WindowPainting.org. They have a great page of tips to get you started, a photo gallery, a directory of window painters, patterns and a video for sale.
