Thats exactly what I was going to say. If you love art and painting, and you do it for that reason, if it is decent, or at least expressive, somewhere down the line somebody will notice and like your stuff. Maybe, you'll get a spot at the local gallery and sell a few pieces, maybe you'll get a spot at some trendy gallery in Soho,NY....who knows. I too was considering the tenets of freelance writing and came to the conclusion that I would need to have a good job full-time in order to persue writing part-time. I would probably take a journalism course, so I could learn the terminology and various swagger of the writing enviroment.
