Twenty years ago, when I asked one of my mentors, John Slorp, how he would get out of periods of stagnation, which all artists experience time to time, he said to me:
“My painting tells me what to do next." It was a mysterious answer to me then. But now I do understand what he meant.
When I start a painting, that piece is sending me messages, what it wants to be and what I need to do for it. When I follow these messages, the painting flows naturally and expands into the uncharted realm to me than more intention-oriented pieces.
