I often run across this issue, and I understand it so much better now that I am in my 50s. What do I want? Youth, happiness, time to paint, and various art supplies. Other than that, most of the things I want are things I can only give myself. What do I do for others who are in the same boat?
For Scott, I personalized a notebook. He is a huge fan of The Time Machine, a movie made in 1960, so I painted it on the cover. This was the first time I had used acrylics in a long time…
For Lili, I painted a bookmark on some leftover canvas that I had, and she used it for years. Regretfully, I don’t have a picture.
