So, of the list of six, my favorite things would be: 1. Going on photo expeditions for reference material 2. Trips to the art supply store 3. Making some of my own "tools of the trade" --- such as making my own paint and pochade boxes Three things I hate are: 1. Priming panels 2. Packing up paintings to ship 3. Framing Of course, you have to take the good with the bad, and there's no other job I'd rather have! If I want to paint, the other stuff goes with the territory.

Of course, you have to take the good with the bad, and there’s no other job I’d rather have! If I want to paint, the other stuff goes with the territory.
