Our dear friend over at the Kenwood blog posted this amazing fan-photo of George Harrison. In the photo you will notice that George is wearing the shirt that he often wore during the summer of 1967. However there is something that stands out in this photo—-George’s house is white! We all know that George painted Kinfauns during “the summer of love” but when did this happen?
Well we have a clue. Leslie Samuels talks to George and Klaus Voorman and shows them a photo of them painting the house “the month before” when her friend, Elieen from Chicago came to pay a visit. We are able to date Leslie’s visit to Paul and George’s houses to July 12, 1967 (give or take a few days).

| Elieen’s photo of George and Klaus painting Kinfauns in June 1967 |
By the time Leslie made to to Kinfauns, it was fully psychedelic.
Another slight clue we have is that John got this psychedelic Rolls on May 25, 1967 and I have read (although I am not sure if it is totally true) that his Rolls inspired George to paint his cars and his house. So if we use those dates—-then Kinfauns was painted between May 26-July 12. So most likely George, Klaus, Pattie and whoever else was helping painted it over several days in June of 1967. And this would make sense because mid-June wasn’t an overly busy time for George or the Beatles.
