Clever, I know.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI had never painted before, but for some reason I bought some acrylic paint, a few canvases and started experimenting. It quickly became one of the most therapeutic things I could have done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the first time in years, I was creating something that didn't need to perform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo strategy.
