Your son is very talented! Everybody should have at least one freakish gift to liven up dull parties, board meetings, etc. Actually, I can vibrate my irises very rapidly, not that this has ever made me popular, I have to say.
About the set up - I put blobs of my paint in a flattish Tupperware container and keep it in the freezer (I put paint left over from a day's painting session in with the blobs) and take it to open studio. When I get there I just transfer the blobs to my handheld palette. If I had a bigger freezer I would just keep the whole palette in there (with the mixing area always scraped clean). I have two palettes going by the way, one with my outside colors and one with my inside colors. I once had a very beautiful Turtlewood palette (found at Michael Shane Neal's site) but I gave it away to another artist (I can't believe I did that, it was beautiful).
For the rest, I keep a big canvas shopping bag with art supplies in it, ready to go. I keep a checklist taped to the bag so that I can go through and make sure I have everything I need and I don't leave home without something. I keep around three or four 24" x 30" Masonite panels with taped linen canvas to them so that I can just grab one and go, either to open studio or a landscape.
Sharon, get back down here soon and do a great setup for us all!
Jean, there is always so much drama in your own work, and thank you for your nice comments.
