I admire, and am envious of, your craftsmanship. I can't get such stellar results over the course of several days. I'm wary of going to the markers and pencils, but you get great results.
I do the ones I want to put on jackets, or the Doolittle Raiders, for the CAF museum.
Silly of me to forget. Lots of work up there, at least, before the lock-down. Still, it's cheaper for American companies to work up there than shoot a comparable scene in a village with a church steeple that's in the US.
I don't reckon your missus will allow you to sit around on your bum and while away your days with a paint brush in your mitt. She looks like a mover. I suggest you get your papers in order for some serious traveling. The alternative, that's worked for me, is; she has charities and activities that keep her out of the casa for hours while you sleep till noon, take your time with coffee, and try your hand at the patches when you're fully awake, about 1500. She comes home, you have tea or dinner, she goes to sleep, and you work on your patches from 2300 till 0100, or 0200 if you're feeling chipper. Rinse and repeat.@JonnyCrow
I'm in the passive phase of my semi-retirement. I'm retiring completely in three months.
So I always have some spare time to paint a patch.

A nice timetable for the day. Unfortunately I am an early riser. So I get up with my beloved government in the morning and have breakfast with her and she goes to work. In the course of the morning she always has a few honey do's for me. At noon I cook the food and she comes back because she only works for half a day. In between I always have time for a patch. In Germany there is a saying: "Dear God, keep my health and my wife's workforce". So I have the morning for myself. We have already planned the next trips. It goes into the Black Forest for a week to make the area unsafe with our e-bikes. Hahaha..... In summer it goes to Thessaloniki for two weeks.
Donald, my wife's favourite character, I've painted Donald a few times, nice work yet again Yogie
