The pictures I contemplate painting would constitute a halfway state and attempt to point out the direction of the future - without arriving there completely

I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc.

Abstract painting is abstract. It confronts you. There was a reviewer a while back who wrote that my pictures didn't have any beginning or any end. He didn't mean it as a compliment, but it was.

The process is only a means to an end-creating the painting I want. It doesn't mean anything itself. It's only a way of creating a result.
