palettes
9/18
today i tackled my paint cart;
dealing with the paint itself was not as bad as i expected
even though it included putting away tubes from the beach paintings 2 summers ago.
the palettes are something else
i use plastic "trays" that come from a variety of places;
old dax frames, tops to plastic bins, etc.
even though these are all discarded finds
i scrape them down as if i paid a fortune for them...
this is not easy,
the paint is extremely thick
and if it is completely dry it is very hard
and if it's not it's messy and slippery
but this is a ritual that is part of the cleaning process,
so scrape i must.
