For as long as I’ve known her, she has said she wishes she could paint, but she has always been too busy or too shy to begin.

There’s a small art shop near our old university whose owner knows his materials, and I’d ask him to help me choose, since I wouldn’t have the faintest idea which paints suit a beginner. I’d hand it over on her birthday in December, ideally in person. What appeals to me about the idea is that it isn’t merely an objectCleft sentence із протиставною конструкцією but a gentle push towards something she has always wanted to try, and I suspect she’d be touched that I remembered a throwaway comment from years ago.
