So I did what he used to do. I tried painting the cabinet with the white base first. My God! I first though painting with a painter's brush is easy. Nope, it's hard. I should have use a roller instead. But hey I would like to know first hand how long it will take me to paint that stuff. It took me two hours just to apply the white base on it and one hour to apply the off white color which is the third coating of paint. It turned out great! The paint has a smooth satin latex surface.
Now I know why painters asked too much of a wage per hour in doing their task. First, not only the smell of paint is a bit intoxicating, it can also mess up your clothing and skin. That's why the job requires you to be over protective by wearing gloves, clothing or painter's uniform, eye protection and mask. Presence of mind should be always intact meaning you should have "focus "on what you are doing. Then the cleaning of brush and rollers. Painstakingly the most difficult task. If only you could just throw those stuff away. However knowing the brush and rollers are expensive so its better to clean them and save them for the next painting job.
After that trying hard painting work I opted for the easiest way of them all. I am back to producing INK BLOTS. I had a collection of ink blots similar to Rorschach Test. The picture above shows the latest of my experiment. You can try admire it for now and think of what that image means before I turned it into another image of some kind. You know me for changing the world upside down when it gets so boring. Topsy turvy terms of endearment. Ciao
