hello

I have really been enjoying your mural at the Oklahoma State Fair. It has been getting lots of use. I go by there 3 times a day and there is always a crowd. My favorite part is photographing kids (and adults) from behind the mural. They get into all sort of predicaments trying to get low enough to get their head through the holes.

Yes, I can paint a mural on a treated wood fence. As far as how long it will last probably depends on whether or not the mural faces the sun (south or west sides) because of fading. That is about as much info as I can give you. There are so many variables. Especially here in Oklahoma where the weather is so harsh and extreme. But as far as painting on that particular surface, it would be no problem for me at all. :-)

Can you paint a mural on treated wood (fences) and if so how long show they be expected to last?

If you're already an artist and know how to paint, the best advice I can give you is to try to ignore the fear. The fear of slapping brightly colored paint on someone's nice, clean walls. It can be really scary, but if you truly are a good artist there's really nothing to fear. Just do what you did before, but... BIG. I have had no formal training on painting murals. I just took a pencil and a brush and started doing it. It's nice if you have a church that you attend or somewhere you can donate free work to at first to build up a portfolio. My church gave me pretty much free reign in the nurseries and youth room. I was able to let my creative juices just pour out. It was really fun.
