Another compilation episode, this one with abstract painters. I have spoken to many types of painters over the years but the abstract painters hold a special sense of mystery for me. They approach painting in a manner that is very different from how I approach it. I have always been extremely curious about their process. What is especially amazing about many abstract painters is often they are very linear and analytical in their regular lives.
