I still use that wooden case and palette to this day, in fact that palette had almost 20 years of old paint on it until last night when I decided to clean it off. Sometimes completing a painting takes longer than I expect so by the time I'm done some of the paint has dried pretty happily onto the palette. If it's a color I didn't use much of, the glob can be kind of big and lumpy and impossible to wipe off with just warm water. I had grown accustomed to my "messy" palette and even fond of the various colors but it had become just too hard to see what colors I was using anymore. I decided to scrape the old paint off with a razor blade and was rather surprised that it all just started peeling up off the wood once I got under a thick area of it. My oldest daughter enjoyed helping me peel a majority of the rubbery dried acrylic paint off and I thought what was removed almost resembled art. I say almost because it really wasn't and it went into the trash, but not before I took a commemorative photo...
