At the same time I was doing work on the computer, I was continuing to work in my traditional way on canvas. What that consists of is starting out with an intuitive drawing, and then seeing where it leads me. Its what I would call a boot-strap approach, in that each stage of development depends specifically on what has gone on in the previous stage. I never have a concept of how it is going to end up. I might have a vague vision of this... but its pretty vague, and I like to be able to respond to something unexpected cropping up, which steers the painting in a totally new direction. This way, I stay interested, because the unfolding of the painting is a revelation for me, and it feels hopeful right up until the end.
