Hope for Creativity auction time is here again

Once again this year I have painted a palette for donation to the folks at Hope for Creativity, who give art supplies to kids in need.  This year I played on last year's concept, where I painted a landscape and had my hand holding a brush painted over it.   So the idea this year is called   "What's in your paint tube?"  and you can see what was in mine:

More to come...
