Painting in the EC
February 7th, 2008 In: Resident reportsOur lama’s wish is to paint the whole house in the white colour. White is always nice, fresh, clean and fits to every furniture or equipment. But to paint a house which was built in Italian style in the beginning of the 20th century, is not an easy task. Every room needs an expert who knows which colour is possible to use, where to order it (a lot of the material needs to be ordered in Italy), how to use material which fits to a special type of textile on the walls and of course how to respect the rules of restauration, because the house is protected as a landmark. That’s why the painting here is an art. Our great painting magicians are called Beate and Heike:
For two weeks I am doing some painter work in the wonderful villa of the Europe center with a great view over lake and snow mountains. This precious and historical protected building makes me leaving behind some ordinary concepts of a painter and also because it is a Dharmaplace brings in some other dimensions.
Together with nice friends and in the power field of the Lama it is even a great pleasure to scratch away centimeter for centimeter almost 100 years old wallpaper with a makulatur of newspapers of same age. The same way as scratching away the veils from our mind!
Happily powdered by chalk dust from brushing the painted walls, we enjoy to clean this jewel of house for the benefit of all beings.
Welcome to join !
