Framed in a double glass panel frame to show both sides of the palette. The back of this piece is my used paint palette from my days using acrylic. 
 
I’m not beautiful. At least I don't feel it most the time. Not to say I dont believe in beauty. It's everywhere age, scars, greying hairs. Sticks, leaves, rubbish. My dirty palette. But like most. I can’t see it in me. I use art to show myself, my worth. But lifes too short not to see ourselves. Perfect as we are. If I can see it in others, there I'll learn to see it in me.
