(An old bicycle on Block Island, RI)
I planned to paint this weekend. I hate painting. I thought I would dedicate the whole weekend to painting one room. I hate painting. I can't handle canary yellow walls one month longer. I've said for two years that I would paint them. I hate painting. This weekend was going to be THE weekend. It's filling up. First up, Native American Festival tomorrow in Ocean Springs. Maybe, I'll paint half the walls? I do hate painting.
(Here is an example of how imprecise language can be. I truly dislike painting things like walls, houses, etc. I truly enjoy painting on things like canvases, paper, odd items that sit still long enough to be painted, etc.)

I read a novel about a plucky young determined down on her luck heiress who needed a job. After she pushes him about it, a guy from her socialite life finally says OK, she can paint his house for the $2,000 she has bid.
ReplyDeleteShe shows up at the front door with a sketchpad and watercolors. Which is not what he wanted.
If you tint the primer the same color you will be painting, it makes for a much smoother transition.
ReplyDeleteJust a hint from someone who loves to paint...

Hey Bobby! Come on down! Stay awhile.

ReplyDeleteCF, definitely imprecise. Funny how those plot lines stick with a person.
ReplyDeleteBobby, Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try.
Fin, I'll try not to.
You know, I hate painting too. Must run in the blood.
ReplyDeleteBut I love to paint! At least I used to. Haven't painted anything in a long time!

I don't always hate painting but I have to be in the right mood for it. I love the distinction you drew there at the end.
