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
@2010 Patricia Scarborough, Distant Horizon, 9x12 oil
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.
@2010 Patricia Scarborough Couch Series panel
Blue skies for every outdoor festival
A sense of humor
@2010 Patricia Scarborough Clover 36x48 oil
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!
