… and, Chris, the one in Brunswick. You did a mural there, too, correct?
THIS IS A WONDERFUL THING.
Wonderful. It will leave a legacy of you-ness, too.
Unfortunately no Woodstock this year. The major construction downtown made logistic too difficult…but we hope to come back with a splash for woodstock 2019.
The type of paint for outside murals partly depends on what you are painting on. I have outside murals using Golden Acrylics–the colors rated of outside use– (https://www.goldenpaints.com/technicalinfo/technicalinfo_murals). Using these painted on 100% polyester canvas. Fredrix has a tough version.
Right now I am working on one using another fabric, Polytab (PT20R Polytab,) a non-woven synthetic. With Golden acrylics and Nova Color paints. This will be glued to a brick wall. This is the “canvas” used in so many of the Philadelphia murals. Look up Polytab method or Parachute Cloth method for murals.
I also have some painted on Alumilite panels. Basically signage panels, kind of like aluminum “plywood”. Tow sheets of aluminum with a plastic waffle core. Very light, tough and with an enamel surface to take paint–NEEDS TO BE SANDED before use! On these panels i used 1Shot sign painter enamels. Very tough and lasting very well up here in our Maine weather. (I have test panels outside as well, using Golden acrylics and so far holding up jsut fine after 1 1/2 years.
Just saw your note from last September about a painting of mine of a woman sleeping on a beach. I think you might mean my painting, Schooner Days, which is of my wife asleep on the beach when she was pregnant with our son. I do have a print of that. I have the original offset lithograph print for $35 and I also have a fine are giclee print on archival paper with archival pigmented inks for $125.
Hope you and yours are all safe and healthy in these difficult days. Cordially, Chris
Just now saw your message from back on October 12, 2019 regarding a print of my painting Wine Festival. The print size is 15 x 28 inches, 38 x 71 cm. Price is $125. and P&P will be $20 to UK. The print is on fine art, acid free, smooth watercolor paper, and printed with archival pigmented inks. Hope you an yours are all well there in this difficult era. Glad you like the painting. Chris
I have a painting signed by Rodman Cart (it was my Mom’s) and would like to know if you are related to the artist? The painting has a description taped to the back reading…”The Kennebec River near Phippsburg Center, ME 1972. Painted by Rodman Cart, Minister of the Congregational Church at Phippsber Center.”
Any information on the artist and if you are related would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello, Chris – Are any of your Rail Trail prints available (I have one), and, if so, is there a place where they can be seen?
Hope all is well.

Hi,
Yes, Rodman Cart is my father. He turned 90 in April and unfortunately, is no longer painting. My parents still live in Phippsburg.
