This is kinda funny..

My DS has a artist side.Even when he was in grade school. He did awesome paintings & art projects in general.

It has been years since he did anything.Till the other day.He sat on his bedroom balcony & painted some 'fishy' pics with acrylic paint.
I commented how great it was...I thought to ask him if he would like the ton of art supplies that were my Moms. I did not get around to it.

Moving on to today... I get a HUGE box from him for my birthday...YUP all new art supplies . 4 big canvas.2 12 piece sets of brushs.Plus 6 new round brushs.Just about every color in 8.45 oz tubes.Pallets for mixing paints,bunch of other supplies.. . (ok see where my laptop is doubling up ))))) I did not hit it twice lol.

so looks like I should make a mess of some paint..

Or if you're not going to use any of what he sent, sell the collection or donate it to a local school that teaches art and take the write off.  I have no talent whatsoever but if he sent all that to me, I'd take a beginner's art class...

By the way, happy birthday!
