An Artist's List for Santa

'Everyone Loves Santa'              8x10           pastel        ©Karen Margulis

I am a lucky artist. I am blessed with a wonderful family and circle of friends.  I am able to paint and teach full time, sharing my love of art with others through my work and through this blog.  I thank each and every one of you for being there, sharing with me and visiting the blog to see what I am working on.  I wish you all the Happiest of Holidays!

On a fun note I want to share my list for Santa.  I really don't need a thing but if I wasn't too old for Santa to visit there are a few things that would be on my dream list!

1. More pastels!  I would love a full set of Diane Townsend soft form pastels and a full set of Terry Ludwig pastels. 
2. A new studio box to store them in!  A large Heilman box would be great. I currently have a home made box that I can't close. It would be great to have a big box that could be moved when needed.
3. Six folding easels that I could use for my classes so my students wouldn't have to bring their easels to class.
4. 100 pieces of 18x24 pastel paper. I'll take an assortment of Uart, Wallis, LaCarte and Canson. This should be enough to fill my paper rack for awhile!
5. A roundtrip plane ticket to anywhere. I already have some great trips planned but it is always nice to dream about another adventure!

That should do it for me!  Of course this is just a dream list but it sure is fun to dream!  What is on your list for Santa this year?

Today's painting is an 8x10 pastel commission. It is painted on Wallis Belgian Mist paper.
