As I lay in bed, unable to sleep, and not really driven to go paint like I usually do, I was thinking about painting. The thoughts that struck me were about the driving force behind a good painting. Then, I realized its no different for a speaker, musician, writer, even a good house cleaner. Its the same, when something works, its really because there was a total connectivity on a strong emotional level. You are energized and charged, and there is a compelling force that drives you to do what you do. I have noticed that sometimes, I paint because I want a diversion and my heart isn't really there, but I think it should be. Those are usually the paintings I am not so thrilled with and tend to take more time than I care to put in them. Other times, I become so at one with the oils, brush and canvas that I just can't paint fast enough. Everything just moves and flows from something within me that doesn't even seem real. After words, I will often wonder, in amazement.... how did I do that?
I found myself puzzled about this and asked how do we consistently get that connected feeling, that emotional charge that just sweeps past the conscious mind and another deeper unconscious self emerges and takes over?
