Brenda,

I agree with Lacey that it should be okay. I've done it several times so it had better be okay! Seriously, you should sand the surface of the old painting first, then you can simply paint right over it. Or if the old painting is distracting, give it a coat of neutral paint, maybe spread it evenly with a paper towel, let it dry, and paint. That will be your "primer." But do NOT use gesso! It will peel off eventually.
