Where do you find inspiration?Growing up in maine spending alot of time in the woods. I found painting when my depression started getting really bad and found that despite not enjoying my days I atleast enjoyed the time I spent painting for that day.
What would you do with $25,000?Id use it to upgrade my supplies. A better easle. More paint, brushes, Canvas. Then id use the rest to keep my home. I lost my job due to my depression and can no longer work as I really struggle every day. So not being able to hold a regular 9-5 im hoping to be able to paint and sell my paintings to make ends meet. I dont know if I will succeed or if I will fail but Im atleast going to try.
