I love to paint, it’s therapy, it’s calming, it’s fun!

I love oil painting. I just started in February of 2025 and I haven’t looked back. I started making landscapes from watching Bob Ross, and have slowly turned the techniques I learned from that into creating more fantasy/synthwave landscapes. Recently I’ve enjoyed creating space landscapes!
Where do you find inspiration?My main inspiration is synthwave music. I love the spacey, electronic vibes, the electric guitar, the saxophone, just everything! The music brings nostalgia and transports me into another world and it’s expressed in all my pieces!
What would you do with $25,000?I would start my Etsy shop, buy the equipment to make professional prints and use it to potentially build my own She shed so I have my own secluded space to paint!
