I painted one dining room red and I must say, the conversation became very heated in that room.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always feel attacked when I'm asked about my painting.
I do not literally paint that table, but the emotion it produces upon me.
You're going to react to a painting in a way that the painting demands you react.
I decorated my house like a medieval gothic castle, European-style. Chandeliers and red velvet curtains. My bedroom is pink and black, my bathroom is totally Hello Kitty, I have a massive pink couch and a big antique gold cross.
If you have white walls, human beings look better in a room than if you have red walls.
I'd been told, or warned, that when you paint one room, not only will it look nice, but it will also make the room next to it look as if raccoons have been living in it for the past decade.
The dining room in my old house was truly magnificent, but by far the worst room for conversation. I'd get up from the table, a very long table, and somebody would always say, Paul, I never got to talk to you.
We went to - I guess it was a legitimate boiler room, and I sat in front of this guy who literally was on the phone with two people at once. They call it double fisting.
It's a waste of time to think that if you colored a painting red what might have happened if you painted it black.
There are people who don't respond to color. That's what painting is. It's color.
