How do you paint an abstract?

Garden of Eden

How do you paint an abstract?
You empty your mind
and meditate.
You get into a zen kind of rhythm,
like when you're doodling while on the phone.
That's what's wrong with texting-
You can't doodle while you text.
Working intuitively, colors and shapes,
lines and forms,
patterns and space.
Like when you rearrange your furniture,
it's not so much how it looks in the room,
but how the room feels.
Abstract painting is not about thinking,
it's about feeling.
Its not about representing,
Its about expressing.
So how do you paint an abstract?
It's completely up to you.
