Create lots and lots of paintings, fill the walls of your house with your favorites and sell the rest. Also, when you do portrait commissions, you're not selling the paintings to total strangers. The client becomes kind of a partner in the process. Get good reproductions printed of the paintings you sell, for your portfolio, so you never have to feel they are truly gone.

Good luck!
