Pink!

All the walls are pink!

I don’t know when Allen Swift and his wife Lenore painted the apartment. These photos are from 2010. That’s a long time after the play is set.

The guys filming him are stop motion animators. Allen Swift is 86 in here. They are interviewing him about a stop motion movie called Mad Monster Party. He did the voices for many of the characters.

Those walls look like standard rental white. Warmer because of the quality of the film and photo, but probably close to that stark white that is responsible for the toothpaste layer of paint obscuring all of the molding in all 5 boroughs. Most folks like white, or will tolerate it happily in a sunny room like this one. It is definitely an easy choice, and a good one.

I will be making a rough model in white cardstock, and then the 1/8” model in white gesso. It would be easy and pretty and fail safe to imagine it pale as I’m assembling it; and then choose a tasteful shade of ecru that would offend no one.

Screw ecru! I’m painting it pink!
