The Predicament Print

I started painting at the age of 12 using watercolor. The first money I ever made was from painting at the age of 16. My mother whom I have great respect for how she raised me was against this because she was afraid a teenage with money can not concentrate on the education which she valued more than the money, More important than the money was the attention and praise from my peers, cause I used to draw a circle and ask them to measure it and I used to draw an almost perfect circle (It is practice and more practice, not a miracle). I never failed my mother and earned a Masters degree in Computer Engineering at Mid Sweden University. I have never stopped painting although I reduced the pace and panted as a hobby. I mainly focused on landscape and portrait paintings. I used to give away most of them to friends and relatives. Painting is some kind of Therapy and I used to paint more during lives' many crises. My last project started after I have lost my sister for cancer and to forget that painful loss, I started painting without thinking about money (selling). I have invested a lot of money and I could paint anything in order to get bored. So, I have accumulated more than 700 paintings. Two rooms are full of paintings (cooling cost was staggering due to the heat). So, here I am to show the world my talent in art, I have no regrets if I do not sell a single painting because this is my legacy to my kids and to the world. I do not paint to live, but I live to paint. This is absolutely true, nothing gives me pleasure than painting (except my kids' smile)
