Painting a masterpiece

So I have been playing around with techniques, trying some classical style painting and some more modern abstract styles. I find both to be enjoyable but my true masterpieces are my portraits. These always fetch the highest dollar. I enjoy the atmosphere of my studio as well. Its a calming sand color, reminds me of my time in Egypt, and it brings out the color of the portraits. My studio also has incredible views from the front of the house out over the docks and the ocean beyond. Very inspirational. I spend hours sometimes just standing in front of my easel and soaking up the beauty outside before I pick up the brush and paint.
