You would have to sell your work or teach the art of painting.
In order to sell your work, you need to set up a deal with an art dealer or go through one of the new websites.
To teach you can contact your local community center and offer your services.
Have you thought about illustrating books? Maybe fantasy or something similar would be right down your street. Contact publishing houses that specialise in this type of litterature.
Good luck!

Make a portfolio (online and physical). Send it to local art galleries and follow up with a phone call. If they are interested they will let you know. I think though, at this time, a lot of it is luck...

Try entering a state fair near your home town or try locating a gallery that accepts new artist, there is always eBay.

stand on a street corner painting, and see if anyone shows any interest in your work, in a park, in a shopping mall

sell it. Dali made it huge, so could you.
Way to market yourself. Thanks for two points. :\
