As I was painting down by the Santa Ana River my Heilman slid off of my easel and hit the ground. It sent my pastels all over the ground. It was a tough interruption because of the time it took to get everything back into the box.

This is the remains of my pallet on the ground. It is kind of funny that the day before I was examining goals for this year and I thought I should change my pallet. I thought there were too many colors that I was not using and that there were too many colors that were too similar to others in the pallet.
The qualifications for my pallet going forward will be that each color will have to stand alone for its beauty-it will not be enough for it to accentuate the other colors in the pallet-other than the full values available to me.

Things happen for a reason--looks like you get to "make lemonade" out of one of those annoying incidents in the life of an artist! You will end up enjoying the new palette. I hope you were able to salvage some good-sized bits from the broken pastels--it is so easy to grind them up according to color family, add a bit of water, and shape them into unique new colors.
