"Confessions of a Color-Blind House Painter" by Selwyn Mills
“Confessions of a Color-Blind House Painter” (ISBN 1466342013), a collection of autobiographical writings by Selwyn Mills, offers an account of the author’s life as well as his ruminations on painting, psychotherapy, friendship, romantic love, poetry, prison, philosophy, relationships and cats, among other topics.
Mills split his professional life between two concurrent careers – he worked as a decorative painter in the mornings and led psychotherapy sessions in the afternoon. Although these types of work might appear quite different, Mills describes how each profession deals with depression and renewal. He offers an eclectic collection of musings on various topics, each one weaving personal narrative with opinion and insight. “Confessions of a Color-Blind House Painter” reveals a portrait of a life made up of equal portions of intellectual, creative and emotional elements.
“For 60 years I have wanted to write a book with this title,” says Mills. “Through all those years as a decorative painter for a demanding clientele, I feared that I would lose credibility if I were to ‘confess’. Now I am free to do so.”
Written in a roving style quite different from a straightforward autobiographical account, the book is intended to entertain and engage readers with a broad range of interests.
“Confessions of a Color-Blind House Painter” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
