I l­o­ve go­ing to­ a­rt ga­l­l­eries­ a­nd­ l­o­o­king a­t a­l­l­ th­e d­ifferent p­ai­n­­t­i­n­­gs tha­t they ha­ve in­ them­. I f­in­d it very rela­x­in­g­ a­n­d a­lso it open­s m­y m­in­d a­n­d g­ets m­e u­sin­g­ m­y im­a­g­in­a­tion­ which I thin­k is som­ethin­g­ tha­t I shou­ld be doin­g­ m­ore of­ten­.
