Color has the power to heal your spirit: It can be soothing, healing, and make you feel reborn. In shades of soft green, blue, and pink, professional interior designers share their favorite feel-good colors."There's something in the color blue that triggers a relaxation response. It makes me feel as if I'm floating in a boat, looking up at the sky. Everything about it speaks of a gentle, tranquil, Zen state of mind. This is not an aloof blue. It's a blue that gathers you in." —Leatrice Eiseman. Paint by Pantone.
Clean walls.
Remove dust, dirt, and grease spots (which can ruin a smooth finish) with water, a little mild dishwashing detergent, and a cellulose sponge. Rinse walls with clean water to remove the soap residue.
Tape the trim, window, and doorframes
Be sure to use painter's blue tape, which can be applied up to a week ahead. Remove tape immediately after painting, before the wall dries, so you don't peel off any paint with it.
Background
Even with three painted versions it's a relatively straightforward process to pinpoint the details about the origin of this particular painting--thanks to Van Gogh's voluminous letters to Theo. In the letter cited above Van Gogh describes the work as a "size 30" (large) canvas, so this would immediately eliminate the Musée d'Orsay version which is significantly smaller. Could the Chicago version of the bedroom painting be the original, however, and not the Van Gogh Museum version? Jan Hulsker, Van Gogh scholar and expert on the letters argues to the contrary:
As the two others, differing only in very minor details, are size-30 canvases, one of them must be the replica made in Saint-Rémy. The fact that [JH] 1608 is the original, painted in Arles, is confirmed by a detail in the picture itself. In Letter 553b, written October 4--only about ten days before the painting was made--Vincent informed his friend Boch: "Your portrait is hanging in my bedroom, together with that of Milliet, the Zouave, which I have just completed." The painting on the far right above the bed in 1608 must indeed be what he referred to as the portrait of Milliet, for the bright red of the kepi can be made out against the green of the background just below the upper edge of the picture. In the later replica, 1771, this figure has been replaced by a portrait of a woman.1
Furthermore, now that the profiled work has been established as the original, it can be accurately dated thanks to Van Gogh's Letter 555 (17 October 1888) in which he wrote "I am adding a line to tell you that this afternoon I finished the canvas representing the bedroom." It's rare (but always welcome) that Van Gogh's paintings can be dated with such precision. A recent article in Sky and Telescope (April, 2001) about The White House at Night is another example in which the completion of a Van Gogh work can be narrowed down to a matter of a few hours.
