Reflective digital print on a 6mm aluminum composite panel
The 28-by-10-ft. mural was done on aluminum composite panels finished with Keim mineral-based paint. I collaborated with Rodger on this project. It depicts the funeral train that carried the body of Canada’s first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, from Ottawa to Kingston, with an overnight stay in Sharbot Lake. It was funded primarily by local merchants. There are 6 people in the mural who were most likely there at the time, sponsored by their descendants. The man with the moustache at the front of the locomotive was Rodger MacMunn’s great grandfather.
