My homemade palette is prominent in this photo. I painted the cardboard back of a cheap, framed print a neutral brown. The glass is very easy to clean, and the size is just right. The palette has my usual assortment of colors and pre-mixed tones. The cart (one of two I have) that the palette sits on holds tubes of reds, earths, and whites.

The painting, Man and Woman in a Room, is at the over-painting stage–the under-painting is done and dry.The drawing on the back wall in the painting is something I made up–a glorified doodle. I am a champeen doodler.
