About to lose job, looking for guidance

[cle103]

The company I work for is more likely than not going under. It was a great gig. Chill hours, great colleagues and boss who's into spiral dynamics. Oh well... 

As it's a small company I have a good amount of experience in different fields, mostly in marketing tho (a field I dislike, but someone had to do it). I could look for a job in this field but all the ones I've found thus far are peak stage orange, which I'm not willing to go into. 

My life purpose is art and I've been painting 4-6 days/week for the last 5 years. So I'm considering using this as a chance to try it out for real.

I'm 28 and have solid savings (low 6 figures). My monthly expenses are around 1.500€, which I could get down a bit. 

Main idea is to go balls to the wall for 3 months and see how far I can get. I'd also try to get some state funding.

As I don't have an art degree or current following, It will probably be hard to get into galleries (which take 50% anyways). So I would most likely be creating content on social media (which I've been avoiding thus far). 

I'm under no illusion how hard this can be.

Secondary idea was to get a lower paying job in gallery or art related business and work art on the side. But the idea to spend 8 hrs/day painting is whispering to me a bit more tbh.

Any thoughts or guidance are appreciated!
