I think the not knowing what you are doing is where you will find what really drives you to paint.
This is making a lot of sens to me. I'm thinking of that proffessor who is writing about FLOW..I'm sure you know. He said that it is important to get immediately feedback from your efforts to go in a flow. Art he said is a special case, there is no feedback, until you see what you always wanted to see, but didn't knew before...I hope this make sense..
