R. I'm pretty sure that crack-proof oil paint is like run-proof stockings. :P

Half a century on this Earth and I'm still constantly misspelling the word "palette." No wonder I never made it in the art biz.

No date or stamp on the back. Someone started to fill it out, but I guess they decided to keep it. I can't really blame them. It's a great image. (Shown slightly larger than original size.)

Always remember to put on your good white shirt and expensive velvet Capris before getting out the paints. Also, work gloves and safety masks are unpatriotic.

Make the kids' footwear double as scarves, paint the storage shed, start an earring business, tithe to the Canadian Empire, con an omnivore into avoiding meat... Wow! It's been a busy day!

Ah, Fifties. What an easygoing time you were. "Vanishing Shelves" were cause for rejoicing rather than one more surface to try and keep clean. Local schools gave away giant vats of peanut butter to enamored youth. Nobody minded if you spilled paint all over the desert, and keeping the walls clean was more fun to the average woman than a dream date with Sinatra. (Well, actually I agree on that one. I can't stand Sinatra.)
