I was staining some small canvases in the studio with Cadmium Orange when I dropped the lid of the paint tube on the floor. After a few frustrating minutes trying to find the damn thing, I gave up.
Next, mindful that it was a new tube which I didn't want to dry out, I started looking for another top to screw on. This involved searching through loads of old tubes (granted, they needed sorting out, anyway) to find a good fit.
Eventually I found one that would do and so returned to my now, very limited painting time.
At some point, I don't remember why, I slipped my hand into the pocket of my apron. And there it was - the missing tube top.
Life can be very frustrating, sometimes.
