Signing UpStep 1: Make or acquire art
Make something brilliant, or find someone who has and is willing to sell it to you for a reasonable price.
Most cities will hold artists' open studios, where you can walk around checking out neat art, meeting the artists, and generally poking through interesting live/work spaces. This means you can find work by young/unknown artists, who are usually much less expensive than big-name artists yet often just as talented, and that you don't have to pay exorbitant gallery markups. Get out and look around- meet some neat people, support a starving artist, and get inspired to make something yourself.
I found a neat piece by Emily Keyishian. You can check out her art during the SF open studios every October, or as listed on her website. Of course, this picture needed an equally impressive frame. Having spent all my money on art, I got to make the frame myself.

too keep your hands free of the whirling blade of death, use a push stick (I used to use a baseball bat that I squared off, good grip and nice flat edge)
2. It should have a riving blade behind the saw to keep the cut open - See point 1.
3. Your saw blade is blunt hence the burning.
4. Please use a push stick to push the wood through the saw rather than your delicate hands.
Other then that a neat well written instructable.
and nice painture, by the way.
