The last couple of months I have been working on a couple of big commissions. Now I'm finished! I'm starting another commission more seriously today. I am toying with the idea of doing a little online show with the paintings I have right before Christmas, but we shall see how I feel.
I have learned to wisely limit how much time a week I will devote to commissions, which is why they take a long time. It's just nice to only commit to working on them once or twice a week, and then focus on my other paintings during the week for free expression. Both are good for me. The commission has structure and a challenge. The fun stuff helps me practice skills and just explore different subjects how I want.
