old palette

 I was cleaning up some of my supplies and checking my inventory. This is a palette I used back in the super early days of my college career. The quality of the bulk of these colors is very low (I'm talking, I bought them at Walmart to save money) with a swatch or two of higher grade paints (payne's gray and grumbacher chinese white, gifts).

It's a little memorizing to look at this palette and think about how I used to rely on it, a bit embarrassing too. Unfortunately the paints are not really the quality I work with anymore, so I'm at a crossroads on what to do with it. Do I keep it for the memories, give it away so it doesn't collect dust, or something else entirely? I'll figure it out eventually I suppose. 

Thank you little palette for all of your hard work. Thank you for being a part of my journey as an artist.
