Diffusing the light

Windows are great, an excellent source of light and scenery; however, sometimes they can be a distraction (and a source of freezing air). The sun winds its course throughout the day and as it does the sun moves and often creates annoying glare or blinding light, which makes it tough to paint through, also when it is windy and cold windows let in cold air. Besides when its this time of the year in upstate NY, anything that makes you seem warmer and safer is good. So in order to solve this problem you can go to Home Depot and pick up some inch long screws and lengths of 1.5 inch thick pine strips (get enough to make it around the perimeter of your window), a package of drop cloth with one fabric side and one plastic side, also pick up some smaller strips of wood to divide the final shape with. Cut the pieces to fit the inner most dimensions of your window on a chop saw and screw them together, remember , you will have to overlap them. Cut the smaller strips to fit inside the screen frame and position it however you will and screw it tight. Make sure the frame fits, then stretch the drop cloth (plastic toward the glass) like you would stretch a canvas to a frame using a staple gun. Trim the edges and enjoy!
