How long does a glow in the dark paint last on canvas?

It depends on the paint used.

"Luminous" paint will only last a short time because it will lose its chemical reactants (radioactive paints being unusual).

"Phosphorescent" paint may absorb light energy, then release it again. This will last for a considerable time but not for any great numberof years, because it reacts with other chemicals as well.

I don't know if this is the artist you are looking for but an artist with the last name Dupont is: Gainsborough Dupont.

However, the painting you are describing reminds me of a painting called "Lady with a parasol" by Monet.

What does the painting 'Wreck of the Hesperus' look like?

I too was interested in such an answer (Groucho Marx refers to a painting of such title being tatooed on 'Lydia the tattoed Lady' in his song of that name). An entry on Google states that William McTaggart RSA (presumably Member of Royal Scottish Academy) painted a picture with that title based upon the poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Hope this helps.

Do sugar cubes disintegrate when being painted?

No

There are edible paints used by specialty bakeries that can be used on cakes etc. With a light touch and an airbrush used specifically for edible paint, you can paint on sugar cubes.

Also, if you are just using the cubes as a base, with no intent to eat them, you can in fact spray paint them.

I would however suggest a good airbrush and not an aerosol spray can.

Who is the artist for the sleeping boy with a male looking guardian angel standing over him with a spear and a light?

It's difficult to say who painted that, since that isn't a highly descriptive question. It sounds, however, like the paintingHeiliger Schutzengel, by an artist called Lindberg. It is a low-profile painting by a low-profile artist, so information is limited and sometimes contradictory (rumors exist, for example, that it is miscredited to Lindberg, and that the painting was actually painted by a significantly later art restorer, Hans Zatzka). It's really too difficult to give a precise answer for a question so open to interpretation.

How can you fit an index card around your body with only cutting and folding?

Fold the card in half. Cut from the bent side across, a centimetre to half an inch from the edge, stopping about the same distance from the other side. Now cut from that other side a similar distance from the previous cut and stopping early as before. Continue to cut across from alternating sides until you reach the end; the last cut must be from the folded side, not the edges. Now, unfold the card. You should able to expand it into a loop that is quite large. To change the length of the loop, simply alter the distance and/or number of cuts: more cuts with less between them (which makes a thinner band) means a longer loop, and the opposite is also true.

How do you tell if a painting is worth anything?
