Santa's List for You

Santa's been asking about you. A bit confused over just what to put under your tree, I gave him a few ideas. I hope you don't mind.

My "Gifts Any Artist Can Use and Appreciate" list: 


A hand painted color chart from every tube of paint you own.


A case of frames that are always the right size

Determination to start - again


A kind and patient mentor


Wonderful patrons

Galleries that want to show your work

Distant horizons to reach toward

A stack of materials all ready to go

Free shipping

Willingness to go it alone

Full paint tubes

Unstick-able lids

Just the right color

Never ending blog post ideas

Friends that love you no matter what

Classes

Self cleaning palette



Stain resistant flooring. (sorry honey!)

Organized storage closet. Maybe even two. 


A full receipt book

Space

The courage to try something new. If that's too much, maybe the courage to just try.

Blue skies for every outdoor festival

A sense of humor

Confidence

A support group


I've got the only Handsome Husband made, so you'll have to be satisfied with a poor substitute.

Goodness, I hope I didn't miss anything.  Feel free to add to the list if you'd like. Santa could use all the help he can get!

Well Patty I think you have a wonderful list for Santa. With all the beautiful painting you have done this year you might want to add to your list, more brushes. Make sure they are your favorites!!

Good idea Sheila! And thanks for your determination!

Hi Patty,

Your list is fine indeed. I might add "someone to keep track of books." ha ha

Karine, of course! And lots of sales to keep track of in those books!
