As a artist/painter I understand/feel what you said above is true.

I start with something I identify with emotionally, then work my own prana into it. This force is subconscious. I've never fully copied anything in life; From writing to music to art - it's mine. If I feel good about my art, then I show it to others.
If not the piece gets re-painted. Simple. No idea is wasted - I'll get back to it at another date that's all.

I understand the feeling of starting off with a painting and then kinda standing back and realizing it takes form with a life of its own - organic power as you so describe it. Sometimes I have a canvas that changes several times before it stabilizes into something I finish.

And the statement "I can barely reproduce my style" is fully understood here, man! I haven't come to grips with a single-style myself.

Thanks for your insight as a painter and artist. Inspiring as usual. Now where's that brush...
