I definitely find that when I think as little as possible, I create art that is more satisfying and meaningful. And can sometimes be an interesting surprise when I step back and look at it too. I get a different kind of satisfaction when I create art with other people in mind though (not professionally). This was an interesting read, thanks for sharing this aspect of your process. I enjoyed seeing your wood panels. I hope these explorations take you on some interesting adventures and studio time isn't too limited over the festive period.
Thank you! I just created a birthday painting for a family member and was reflecting on this. It was so much harder knowing who the recipient would be, rather than connecting inwards to my own intentions. Keep on creating and surprising yourself!
