I know that the first example should be removed or replaced, as the verb "painted" selects not a clause but a direct and indirect object. I think that "the house blue" is no more a small clause than "the book to Mary" is in "I gave the book to Mary".

Additionally, I'm not so sure about "make" selecting for a clause either, since it seems to me that it, once again, has a direct and indirect object instead.
