Strange but True Fact
One might say that painters of art
shovel their color onto the surface because
the etymology of the word palette is from the
Old French palete meaning "small shovel, blade"
which came from the Latin pala meaning
"spade, shoulder blade".

Spectacular setting handy to the sea, and handy for our see...
