Any time I can fit some painting into my schedule. Being retired also helps.

Being retired now, I paint every day. But when still working, I painted more on weekends than weekdays.

I paint all the time now I'm retired, less at weekends as I still do all the things I did when working!

I was going to say I paint pretty much every day since I retired, but that would be misleading. I painted most days when I was working.

It was always a relief to do anything not requiring coordination with and approval by anyone else, and no one asking me to "cut a few corners" and trade quality for speed.

I paint on the weekends and during the week. Being retired has advantages.

I try to paint every day.

Personal logo Wolfshanza Supporting Member of TMP01 Jul 2024 9:42 p.m. PST

Being retired, I eat when I'm hungry, drink when I'm dry and paint whenever i want :)

Martin Rapier01 Jul 2024 10:40 p.m. PST

Rarely, seems the weekend is pretty busy for me even being retired.

rustymusket02 Jul 2024 3:05 a.m. PST

Being retired now, I paint when I can and feel like painting, though I am painting less these days.

bobm195902 Jul 2024 3:27 a.m. PST

I try to do some every day, short sessions but often. I'm on a slow glide towards retirement but don't know whether that will increase or decrease painting time…

myxemail Supporting Member of TMP02 Jul 2024 4:50 a.m. PST

Yes.
For about 30 years I struggled to paint on any day. Finding time was the issue because of raising children, then especially these last few years with work being 50-60 hours per week.
Now I am finding time to paint just about every day. I am building up my endurance and slowly getting my hobby area cleaned up and organized. Life is good

yes

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP02 Jul 2024 5:38 a.m. PST

Yes – paint mostly on weekends but sometimes during the week

Perris0707 Supporting Member of TMP02 Jul 2024 6:41 a.m. PST

Almost every day, so yes.

Weekends, primarily, but I also paint on weeknights. Cheers!

No weekends are for outside fun. Riding the motorcycle, playing with my kid etc. etc.

Personal logo Flashman14 Supporting Member of TMP03 Jul 2024 2:40 a.m. PST

Mostly.

mckrok Supporting Member of TMP03 Jul 2024 3:11 p.m. PST

Yes. I've tried to paint – even if it's just a little bit – every day for decades, and at the expense of sleep when I had no time. Call it therapy.
