deja vu
When painting and my process evolves into something that looks familiar to me, I will move to erase the familiarity and restructure the painting process to reflect a process that becomes me. Creating paintings through a process that becomes me is my ideal. Success at times is debatable. Usually this familiarity exists as an image created by another artist who is usually very famous. This familiarity is quite derivative of this painter’s signature work. At least this is what I begin to see and feel as I paint. This derivative imaging annoys me no end. I sometimes attribute creating a familiarity painting to a lazy or tired mind. I loose my focus. I wander from my center. My muse has left the building.
