I plan to take over the world. I'm 56.  I don't live at home anymore. Time has not been good to me.  I was beautiful years ago. I was popular at one time and made a lot of money. I spend my days cleaning and remembering my artistic paintings. I want to make money from painting. I used to paint futuristic scenes inspired by space. My children love to paint like Jackson Pollock.  I used to paint for a living.  I sold my pieces for a few thousand apiece.  There were galleries full of my work. I went straight from living in my parents' house to living on my own.
My hopes and dreams are to spend time with friends having fun. I'm 19.  I work at Burger King.  I still live in my parents' house. I want to move out.  My parents are always on my back.  I will live with my friends. I love to paint. I like abstract art, such as the works by Jackson Pollock. I do not know what I want to do when I get older.
I started a new piece of art.  It is my interpretation of the "Big Bang" (the birth of the universe).  Do you want to see it?  Maybe you can give me some ideas to improve upon it. Sure! I would love to give you my opinion on it. I recently started an abstract piece. I'm trying to combine something that looks like the ocean and the sky colliding.  I like that idea very much.  I love anything inspired by outer space.  I sold a few paintings like that in my past. If you don't mind my asking, what is the highest amount you've sold a painting for? I've yet to have the courage to sell any of mine. My most expensive sale was over $5k, but try not to use that as a guide because I was a professional painter in my old life.  I suggest painting for the love of it and take any profits as the cherry on top. Absolutely! I think if you follow your passion in life the money will follow. Do you attend any art trade shows or go to any museums? Where do you find most of your inspiration?  I don't attend many exhibits anymore.  I draw my inspiration from my past.  I had a very difficult life and it is very therapeutic to paint about it. Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. It's great that you've found a therapeutic way to handle that burden.  Thank you.  I was actually able to use the profits from my paintings to get away from my troubles and branch out on my own, so art has been a real life-saver for me.
