Just read mama’s emails. Here’s a little travelogue.
Well, papa’s ex, mama’s good friend, Gabriella, sent mama some amazing photos of painted houses in a neighbourhood of Rome called Tormarancia near Ostiense, Garbatella. These are from the internet, but what an incredible idea, and aren’t they wild? I think mama should paint our house like that.
HEY, EUREKA, I CAN DO THAT!
Hey, I think mama has some cans of paint in the atelier that were left over from our remodel here—hmmmm.
I think maybe a nice rendition of a very large tuna would look good on the entry wall, and we can segue to a couple or three chickens dancing (heading for the oven with little roast potatoes, right?) across the front wall of the house.
And on the garden wall, let me think. How about a family of fat little mice on a Sunday outing and ending up in OUR garden?
I’m off to find the brushes right now. This will be a GREAT surprise for Valentine’s Day for mama AND papa!
And I’m just getting started!

We send love to Brian’s Home for Sister Kit. What an amazing number of friends loved her so.
OH ow those houses and OH MY CAT your art work too!!
Yeah losing Sister Kit was sad. * sigh *
Well, mama wasn’t all that happy about the colored walls, but I whited out everything pretty well before she went too balistic.
Wow, those houses are amazing. Are you sure your mama and papa will like your house painted like that?
Well, we’ll just have to do it and then ask, no? HAHA.
Loulou – can I help? Yippee!!!! That looks like fun – and our mammas and papas will be so proud and happy with our artistic efforts. Ya think? And I love your color scheme with the drips. Those houses are beautiful – not sure we could replicate those – but we could do something CREATIVE!!
Sad for family of Sister Kit. She looked like a wise and beautiful kitty and we know she is greatly missed.
Hey we can PAINT THE TOWN, too!!!
Like your ideas of how to paint the house. Very enticing.
Brian’s Home just lost Sascha last year. Now Kit. 🙁
Oh, how very sad. I remember Sascha…
Is it San Francisco where they have houses called “Painted Ladies”? But I think they are just wildly different colors, not pictures. You could combine the two ideas !
OOH, I like that idea. I shall confer with my San Francisco contacts–uncle, cousin, nephew of mama, and good friends. Sounds right for SF.
Beautiful houses. I would love to have my mommy paint our house creatively like some of those. But since I am a house cat I don’t get to see the outside much anyways. But she could paint a room or a hallway even like that.

Hey, why don’t you get started NOW. Just pick a room and go at it, Patzy! Patzy’s Paints…a new company.
I like the painted houses. So sad about Kit.
Yes, and as Jan said, Sascha last year, too.
I was unsure about the colour scheme until you bought up chickens and a family of mice, and then you had me hooked! Yes a great idea to turn sterile buildings into pieces or art. I actually love the idea that plants should grow over buildings top and sides as they keep it warm and dry and also encourage….. mice and birds! Win win to my mind MOL
Toodle pips and arty purrs
YES, mice and birds living in the ivy!!! I should have thought of that first but maybe the color scheme UNDER the ivy will be nice.
