Painting.....and Paint

Image
I hate painting. That is, I’ve never painted a wall. In all of my years of first apartments, I’ve never had the inkling to perform that “moving in and making it your own” ritual, by self. I do, however, like painters. My father was a great and meticulous painter. I recall sitting down in a restaurant with him in Boston, and his eyeing the done over again and again paint job at the walls of our booth. Of course, he didn’t say a thing. But I knew it. When my father painted, he painted with all of the meticulousness of, well, perhaps, a good sailor, which he also was. He scraped. And sanded. And prepared. And prepared again. Until he was ready to put the coat on. And the result? Perfection. No mishaps. No splatter. Nothing but the effect of a beautifully painted wall or house. So, when I came across this new (to me) paint company, I was rather enthralled. I already see my favorite color. Do you see yours?
