I do not eat meat. I do not agree with factory farming. I have a son who paints.  He is more talented , than me. I am attracted to women. I recycle. I sell my recycled art. My boss stresses me out. My work is very stressful. Some outdoor fun might be good for me. I am stressed out at work. I have started selling my work through the internet. I have had a lot people view my work and have had a few orders. I am listing my son's work online too. I need to get outside more and think painting the landscape would be a good challenge. I would like to retire early.
I like animals and nature. I like art. I am attracted to women. I am my own boss. I did not like my old job. I work a lot of hours. I work outdoors. I am satisfied with working for myself. I have enough money to donate. I have a dog. I like to go hiking. There's a trail we like in the foothills and then there's a dog park not too far from there. I love all types of art. I'd love to see some works of your son. I live a comfortable lifestyle. I wouldn't turn down a piece of art. I would like a painting of a landscape from where i live.
Listed one of my son's paintings and it sold within two hours for $200 dollars! He's really excited and is planning on buying some more paints.  That is awesome! It's a great way to possibly work for himself, or at least the amount of time he was to work for someone else. How's it coming selling your own work? I have had a few orders trickle in but feel that perhaps I am not marketing myself well enough and perhaps am missing the more high traffic platforms. Any suggestions? Just the generic stuff -- hang out on creator platforms on social media where people will see and promote each other's work. On twitter, a lot of artists will have pinned tweets advertising their sites, and do pinned-for-pinned exchanges for mutual promotion. Also maybe try to get into local galleries? Wow, lots of information that I will definitely explore. I will share this with my son. With his initial success I can only wonder with added effort how much more he will achieve. Great first steps to a side hustle at least. Absolutely! If nothing else, it's a way to accumulate some F.U. money so you're not quite as much at the boss's mercy. That's how I got into self-employment -- just worked on the side and saved money until I was getting enough business to be able to live on that alone. I agree. Given my current situation I need to make a change for my mental health alone. Art has really become my therapy. In fact, I started painting that landscape I had talked about and would love to paint one for you if you can give me some general descriptors of the setting. That would be great! I live in a used trailer on three acres that's mostly wooded and includes a ravine with seasonal creek. The immediate area around my house is mostly raised beds and edible landscaping. There's a railroad trestle on the front boundary about 100 ft away. That sounds incredibly peaceful. Give me about a week and I will ship it to you. How did you come across the property? It was on Craigslist for only $30k, believe it or not! What medium do you think you'll do it in? I am going to do a combination of acrylics and found art. That sounds great! Would you like me to send some photos of the landscape?
