Yeah it kinda puts the article in a different light. It is also is worded in a way that sounds like she was actually painting on canvas, which doesn’t seem to be the case as I understand.

„She immediately began painting. She had no training in art. But her hands just knew what to do. “It was fulfilling to connect line and form. I let things be guided by intuition,” she says. Two hours later, the canvas was covered in splotches of teal, brown, and orange. She titled her first piece “Blobs and Boomerangs.”


Definitely. "Splotches"
