Pixelmator - 1000%. Native MacOS - quick to load and very intuitive layer-based paint interface. It's a one-time purchase for $50 but they used to run sales. They were bought by Apple recently but still sell it. I moved to it when I migrated away from Photoshop. It doesn't have some of the fancier stuff like puppet mesh warp, but for an all-around editor I'd argue its unrivaled in the Mac space. https://www.apple.com/pixelmator-pro https://www.apple.com/pixelmator-pro EDIT: Krita is also great (and free) but it feels more geared towards digital painting.
