The Blue project... and the backyard flower tribute to Charles Burchfield. It's been a hard working blue painting weekend. Blue Savanah like the old Erasure video....
Congratulations-the house is blue. Your neighbors will see the shocking color when they look out their windows. They'll see something other than the oppressive grey that's all over. All over the sky, all over the interior of their car, all over Ohio. Grey grey grey, but not a rusty bridge in sight. So sad-nothing in the landscape to match the despair in the sky for good dramatic effect. It's like the sky shat out vinyl from all the toxins we've been making it absorb and out came Columbus post 1975.
So painting the rotted clapboards this color was a nice choice. I approve. I thought it would look awful, but I like it.
Cranky, bearded, left leaning, merry contrarian; roadtripping, learning disabled, miseducated intellectual; Appalachian, desperately seeking a sense of humor, queer as a three euro coin; Gore Vidal and Noam Chomsky reading happy ex-pat contentedly living abroad; tree hugger, Arab fanatic, EUtopian, libertarian (as in Bessie Smith's It Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do); free speech advocate, swimmer, urban bicyclist and Metro rider. Over caffeinated conspiracy theorist. Daily trying hard to maintain an open mind despite the constant struggle. favorite pass time - desecrating the English language out of disrespect for the tyranny of the Anglophones with the history of the world. Heart broken by American foreign policy and its consequences within the states and abroad. Pissed off by the current short sighted corporate cruelty of the oily Bush administration. Anti-military, non troop supporting, flag burner. A post United States free North America envisionist.
