Color Palette

In order to get ready to paint, I am thinking about choosing a color palette. My art has always been pretty broad, in style and medium and size. I think I have a visual language that carries through, my line is my line, there is a look about it all that holds it together but the thread is thin. I want to do a cohesive body of work, in size and theme and I think maybe a color palette as well. Just scrolling through my art folder on pinterest, I pulled some paintings who's color I am drawn to these days. It is nice to see them together and to see if they have anything in common. My days before landing in my new studio space are days for planning. I have ideas. I need photographs, to take them, to print them. I need paint. I need to decide on what kind and what colors. Also, I think I might need a back pack.
