A Painter's Palette

Several of you have inquired about the March 1 entry, “February’s Palettes.”

As is usually the case in these matters, I don't know exactly the origin of this idea for the palettes’ inclusion. But it has been on my mind all the way back to the beginning of my pursuit to engage the internet as a medium. I’ve always liked to make lists and look at information in schematic formats i.e., graphs. "February's Palettes" satisfies that predilection, offering visual gratification that communicates statistical information.

Since the palette is usually hidden from view, only the artist gets to see the organic formations that develop there. A painter's palette is, however, a talisman - something whose presence exercises a remarkable or powerful influence on human feelings or actions. Tinsquo is dedicated to revealing the artistic practice as the art itself - hence it makes sense to include the palettes.
