“ unexpected call” acrylic on primed paper

“ Moon man” , 60x 80 cm, acrylic on canvas .

They said:

“Nostr doesn’t have the numbers.”

Yet on Twitter, with 6,000 followers, I sold just one painting in nine year.

On Nostr, in two years, I’ve sold over thirty.

Perhaps the numbers are elsewhere.

But here, there is value.

Nah its definitely peter retodd

Proof of progress. This one is taking shape, slowly but surely.

I see a bunch of #nostrartists tagging each other up. #grownostr is happening organically but with the efforts of people putting in work to grow the network

I’m thankful for the #zapping and #mentions

At some point you realize it is no longer a hobby when it becomes your main thought.

When just being in front of a blank canvas with brush in hand and paints doesn't scare you, but opens up a world of possibilities.

What is scary, on the other hand, is leaving a secure job, with a salary needed to support your family, for a passion that makes you happy but with uncertain earnings.

A leap in the dark that I don't have the courage to take and that I will surely regret, like having abandoned my art for 30 years and that now burns me inside for the wasted time.
