Assuming you've primed all your nearest and dearest to supplement your art supplies, I've suggested below a set of options which are a little more difficult to achieve.Copying a painting in the Musée d'Orsay

So, if you got your wish, which gift would you choose?
Here's your options:
- An extra dollop of talent
- Your choice of a workshop with the best artist / tutor
- Your very own concept (unique, satisfying & marketable)
- Sponsorship to travel and paint overseas
- More time in the studio to make art
- A studio assistant to do all the messy/boring tasks
- Expert advice/sponsorship by a really good framer
- Recognition (eg Winning a major art competition)
- Better tools & confidence for marketing your art
- An invite to be a gallery artist with a great gallery
- An invite to teach art in a prestigious location
- Art Business accounts with a healthy bottom line after tax

What a great list from which to choose! When I saw the title I thought: a new easel. :)But your ideas are even better.
ReplyDeleteI had things like a new easel and a new studio in when I began the list. Then I decided that fairy godmothers can do a bit better than that! :)
ReplyDeleteA studio - I paint in my kitchen!
ReplyDeleteSurplus funds to spend on framing and supplies and marketing!
ReplyDeleteA studio! instead of a corner of the living room
ReplyDeleteI'll cheat and ask for another 12 wishes so that I can have them all ;>D
ReplyDeleteI don't think that option is in the list Vivien. Fairy godmothers who read fairy tales have heard about that particular smart move! ;)
ReplyDeleteHowever just being able to choose one means that the list is shaping up in a very interesting way!
Can we combine number 2 and 4? Would love to go to Europe, and learning from someone while I'm there would be AWESOME!!!
