A Donegal artist has struck gold after drawing a picture on a steamy window at his brother’s 50th birthday bash.

Jim's window picture entitled Band of Brothers'.

Jim’s window picture entitled Band of Brothers’.

Artist Jim Osborne was boiling the kettle at his brother’s home when he had an idea for a picture.

He sketched it onto the steamed up window and when it was captured by incoming light, Jim thought the result was perfect.

He took a picture of the steamed-up sketch and the results are breathtaking.

Now his Steamy Windows collection has caught on and is even being sold by art dealer Charles Saatchi for €350 each.

Not bad for a man who also earns a living with his window-cleaning company Shammy’s Window Cleaners!

Jim also works in other forms including watercolours.

But his name is graducally beginning to take off as the man behind steamy windows.

His current steamy windows art can be view at An Grianan Theatre in Letetrkenny
