My mam was a hoarder and of the many things she left me, this means the most. It's an unwashed artist's palette covered in oil paint, left to harden in 1976. She was incredibly artistic and talented but hardly finished anything! This was from a painting of the 'Four Elements' and I have vivid memories of watching her paint it as a kid. Still have the painting somewhere - unfinished!
