    Swatches!

    Anyone who has ever been in the paint area of a hardware store has seen hundreds of paint swatches printed on paper that you can use to find that right shade of color for the walls and trim of your house. Well, at least a close approximation of what the color will look like. I…

    Last Painted Figures of the Year
