The Art(s) that Added $1 Trillion to the Economy (Walking in Woods Painting)

Sorry I'm not very good at jokes sometimes. 😂 My art did NOT add $1trillion to the economy but might have detracted in value from society about $5 in canvas, misused paint, and not a particularly fruitful use of time but, "Hey! It's a hobby!" (Its either that or my other idea of learning how to carve a flute from oak and then learn to play it. Another idea I'm thinking of trying is a bamboo frame scull for rowing. At the moment art seems like a relatively easier outlet.

You may be interested in knowing the Arts in general did add $1 trillion to the market in 2021. Art is worth a lot and I support the arts because it tells stories and transfers values in society. These are the deep subconscious/collective conscious values that are passed through our expressions. On a large scale collective level it tells you the story of generations (Poem: Cottage of a Thousand Years).

Did you know that the top export art was Creative Advertising at $19.3 billion in 2021?

Onto the art....(pull curtain)

This piece is called Walking in Woods and really I have no idea how I came up with it. The funny thing is that art isn't worth anything until its worth something. Mine could be kindling in the fireplace or it could be used to show readers my relative reason why I never became or could make much money from art. I think photography probably comes out a little better.
