More Help for Santa

 

Greetings All -

For those of you who believed those pesky Mayans and didn’t do the shopping you should have because you thought the world was coming to an end, here’s another helpful holiday list for the artist in your life:

A drawer-full of just what you were looking for. 

A calendar full of dates for upcoming exhibit opportunities.

 

Determination to keep going.

 

Everything you need right at your fingertips

 

 An empty wall waiting just for you

 

Good, solid friendships

 An ego strong enough to keep you going, but not so strong that you go too far.

 

A pile of red dots

 

A sense of adventure

 

 

 

Pleasure in simple things

 

People who are on your side

 

 

Abundance

Feel free to add to the list. Surely Santa can use the help.

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

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

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!
