Pepper Sill

Our kitchen window sill looked like the perfect spot to place this pepper half for a photo shoot.  Once painted, this piece made me think about window sills in general and wonder if there is any significant history to 'window sills'.  I soon found reference to a book published in the UK, called 'A Lust for Window Sills', a lover's guide to British Buildings from Portcullis to Pebble Dash.... of course I ordered it (couldn't find it locally, nor could I order it locally).  Once it arrives I will tell you all about the fascinating history of the window sill... plus utilize any other interesting or quirky facts about building 'bits and parts' as I broaden my painting horizons.
