Why I love commission work

I have just shipped a painting to a client in Boca Raton and packed another painting for a client in California.
I plan to ship this painting Tomorrow.
Later in the day, I spent hours in the studio working on a commission piece, applying multiple layers of thick oils and building up texture in the sky around the trees.
I love all the commission work that I have at hand.
I just got another commission of a painting today.
It give me a sense of purpose to go into the studio to work on a painting that have a home and a collector waiting for it.
It is so much nicer than aimlessly working in the studio.
I love the sense of confidence and assurance that it gives me.

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
