Where does the money that was put in Trust for me come from?

 My father left an inheritance. In that inheritance the estate was supposed to be divided in half between me and my brother. The money for me was supposed to be put in a trust foundation. Some of the money is being invested in stocks. Does that mean I receive some of my income (The money invested in the stocks) from my family in capital gains gotten from the stocks (versus ordinary income)?

If not I would like to know where does the money that is in trust, come from.  I have no answers even though I have asked my counsel (who is only one person) many times this question.

Quality Framing and Trouble

I had to stop my association with my framer which was a major drag.  I said two things actually. One is that I feel that continuing to put money into professional framing is not only time consuming and hindering my ongoing fight with poverty. Two, I feel that there has been a backlash against the actual quality work of the framer.  There has always been some bad feeling for the gallery concerning the fact that it is on the floor I live on which is not necessarily of the same religious persuasion of the congregation that owns and runs it. It might be that the excellent work that has been done is a bone of contention to some significant players in the place. That was one thing For some reason, not too long after the conversation and final association with the said framer I was contacted by a good and qualified patron of the arts who was terminally ill.  She had painstakingly collected some very important magazines throughout her life and being enamored of them kept them...

A Good Exhibition: but the Wrong Kind of Art

I met a couple of art specialists and we were discussing the major problem with my art which is I have zero income. That includes my exhibition in the residence I live in. This exhibition has been very much instrumental in upgrading the clientele and the reputation of the house.  However, it has been years I have been working on it and there has been a lot of time and money spent on it with no income. time is passing and I am growing older.  I wondered why and the first thing I came up with is that I knew quite clearly that the work I was exhibiting was not of the kind that was commonly taken as "serious" in prestigious homes and exhibitions that I saw.  Since I had no money I knew that my place to get that kind of art would be in quality prints, more specifically old books found in thrift shops and the like. But a better opportunity would come up. For some reason, not too long after the conversation with the specialists, I was contacted by a good and qualified patron o...
