Some people are amazed that I can sell my paintings, but you will never be as surprised as I am.
You may not know this, but I gave up painting almost more than 30 years ago and have only been painting again since 2022.
A huge period in which art was only peripheral in my life, a fleeting thought almost always abandoned for fear of being judged a nobody or that one's art didn't interest anyone.
So you can imagine my surprise at being able to sell even one painting when I thought instead I would never paint again in life.
And the secret to getting back to it was only one, to challenge myself to paint a portrait of my wife and to paint just for the pleasure of it, without setting goals, without anxiety.
Then came Nostr...and the rest of the story is here on these "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays."
