I enjoy painting. I like to paint bright designs. You?
I really enjoy painting actually, I'm not very good but its still a good time. What kind of things do you like to paint
I enjoy painting bright, expressive abstract stuff. It helps me unwind.
That's cool, ive never done any abstract things, ive never really understood how I guess, I like painting nature scenes. 
I wish I could paint figures/scenes. I just found out that abstract expressionism dates back to post WWII.
That's interesting, But makes sense, I'm sure there was a lot of very expressive scenes people encountered during that time. 
Oh I am sure! I have been reading a bit about other types of abstract styles that started at that time as well. It makes sense.
ww2 must have been a pretty crazy time, hard to imagine a time period like that now. Yes we still have our fair share of problems, but nothing as big as that.
Have you heard of people using art as a form of psychotherapy? People are asked to draw and paint to get their emotions out.
