Description
I was having a big tidy in the studio and found this ancient object.
It had to have a picture taken before I threw it away.

Ah but they do bring back memories !
I love to run across things from the past as the memories do flood back.great shot girl.
Wonderful capture of this old tin! it has seen better days
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
Great photo.
Wonderful. wish I could paint
a lovely shot
Great to see, excellent shot, had a few of those over the years... memories of when they were last used I'm sure flood back.
That has character. Should have put it on ebay, they'll sell anything on there :)
Love the sense of well-used creativity! Beautiful capture!
I can see that the paint is all dried up but there are some pretty colors in that old paint case! A nice photo to remember it!
they are old. cool looking
Andrea, I'm surprised! You up and threw away that beloved objet d'art? In any event, I love the ambience radiating from this heirloom, replete with that soup of dried up colors.
You threw it away??!!?? My paint box looks much messier than this and I still use it...perhaps that is my problem.....do you think I would paint better pictures with a brand new set of colors?? :) Maybe i will try that.
:o) I used to have one of those!!!
well used for sure! love it!
Absolutely worth photographing, and also worth throwing out! LOL! I love the colors. This was always my favorite part about painting ... all those colors, all that potential. :P Digital painting isn't quite the same.
Lovely subject. Color, texture, composition, suffused with a powerful nostalgia. I don't think there is anyone who couldn't relate to this. Well done.
That was my watercolor box :)
This is under the category of "totally ugly and so irreplaceable". It's beautiful to anyone who's painted. Everyone else can walk into an artist's studio and go "eeeeuuuuwwww, don't you ever clean this place UP???" But for an artist, this sight is heaven. And you know what? It makes a beautiful shot! I luuuuv the cracked colors, and the big gorges in them, and one group---the kind of tan-nish dudes on the bottom right---is like a bunch of guys crawling to get out. A glorious mess. You can post these anytime, and you've inspired me to take pics of my paints and pastels, etc. (Like you, I draw in pastels? The drawing looks like nuclear burn, and I walk away looking worse---powder all over me.) I'm all for pics like these---this is wonderful.
