Hello, how are you? Thank you for your reply and advice, but I am not selling the painting as just paper and paints, but as a story of hope for a young man who wants to change the course of his life after suffering an injury.

Just to be 100% sure, you are selling a real life canvas made of cloth and painted with acrylic, not a NFT or other digital thing. $15,000 USD seems to be high, did you already sell other paints? Do you have more paintings (even if they are not for sale)? Instagram?

What is a "Steam Cleaning" startup?

Real Painting: Yes, 100%. It is a physical painting on 180g academic paper, painted with acrylics I bought with the little money I had left. It is not an NFT or any digital thing. Price ($15,000 USD): You are right, for the materials alone, the price is very high. But as I explained, I am not selling 'art' in the traditional sense; I am selling my only chance to start over. This amount is the seed capital I need to buy equipment and tools for my project, and to pay off the debts that accumulated after my injury. Regarding Instagram, I do not have an account for the project yet. As for other paintings, yes, I have some, but I haven't displayed them, and I used the same paints and paper for them. For your information, I am a 'Derrickman' (Roughneck) working in the mud and heat at a private oil company, and I am not a professional artist. This painting was an attempt to pull myself up from the situation I am in. As for the project, it is about establishing a business for renting carpet cleaning machines, which will be managed through social media. Steam Cleaning: This is my plan to earn a living now that I am unemployed and have a knee injury. The oil company let me go, and I have been without work or a source of income since September. I want to buy professional steam machines (like Bissell Industrial) to provide sterilization and cleaning services for homes and offices. I am just a man trying to trade his past struggles for a clean future. Buying this painting is a support for my story and my dream to stand on my feet again.
