In honor of Halloween I have had the house is primed this undead corpse color because I thought I was going with a UPS brown for the body color during my 'depressed' phase, the primer was tinted brown, started to be applied and I realized that I hated the density/darkness. Raced Adler's to pick up white primer so Regino (el heffe) could lighten it so I could change my mind to a different color. Notice the many shades of muck, nice.
To make the situation just a little more freaky, I had the rumination that maybe I can wait til spring to paint the body - psychotic interlude #17 22.
The Freudian school of thought postulates that unconscious fantasy represents the conflicts, drives and wishes underlying human experiences, in particular, those related to sexuality, birth, intrauterine existence, primal scene, castration and seduction and that these may be transformed into works of art through any number of artistic means (Trosman, 1990).
I happen to love brown ... all shades of brown. It's not depressing but RICH. And the amazing thing about brown is that you can dress it up or brighten it up with virtually anything, i.e. it's versatile, too!! Okay, so I'm talking about clothes (and perhaps soil), and you're talking about houses. But since we're ALL exploring metaphors, why not???
ReplyDeletep.s. i really do love brown.

" Kuler is a web-based color tool from Adobe that has thousands of community-generated color themes from which you can search, but the best thing about Kuler is that you can easily make your own themes. Once you register with Kuler (it's very quick), you can begin to create your own color themes or palettes and store, view, and retrieve all your saved themes in your personal Mykuler space. There are two ways to create unique color themes: either by selecting a single color on the color wheel as your base color and building off of that, or by importing an image from Flickr or your hard disk and extracting harmonious combinations from the image." more visit article,

colors are appearences - the real color change is inside you; progress is manifested by choice - but the real choices are deeply internal. The house looks great and the movement seems to be an opening for you.
ReplyDeleteYour tag of "psychotic interludes" made me spit the water I was drinking out my mouth. You do have the best tags. (And pretty dang good pictures, too. Loved the photos of the 'crew' in the previous post.)

Also I would like to see you continue with the psycological babble and analysis of the emotions and consequences of renovating.
You could try contacting the Real Estate Broker
who sold you the house so they can show other people what can be done with these properties.l
Or try the State of R.I. or the City of Providence, or local neighborhood websites to show people what can be done with these broken down properties and how you have conteributed t to the restoration of the neighborhood
