Very cool. I'm sure somewhere, a psychiatrist would attempt to analyze these for insight into the artist's psyche.

I like Van Gogh's the best.

What I want to see now are the pastel boxes Degas and others used; how cool would that be?

That's interesting. I'd like to see the palettes of more artists.

Hi, Jo! Unlike pastel boxes, I think there are numerous palette pics on the net. Also, paintings done by historic artists who represented themselves with their palettes - a genre, really.
