A long day in the studio

-
I woke up early this morning and after my breakfast, went straight to the studio.
I enjoyed reworking some of the hills in an oil painting that I have been working on.
I have been using my knife and a wide brush to apply thick layers of oils on a landscape painting.

At midday, I took a break from the thick oils and spent a few hours working on the Sketchbook series.
I needed to do something different.
By the afternoon I was back to the commission piece of the landscape.
I like how it is progressing.
I am using the knife to apply small globes of paint that create an effect similar to pointillism.

Tomorrow both Jules and I have a dentist appointments, so I wanted to get as much work as I could today.
The time in the studio had gone by so fast, I only noticed that it was getting late when the light turned dark outside.

The hiking group was in good spirits this morning, cooking breakfast and packing up their gear. We were all a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to hike the scenic route along the southeastern coast, but it was clear now that this typhoon was a massive one. News reports described it as a once in 30 years storm to hit
