"Mystic"
If you go to my blog postings vric88 you can see earlier versions of this painting called Mystic. A whitish ghost image of a sacred cow and figure are emerging.
Towards the end I have been only working with white paint mixed with retarder so it doesn't dry so fast.
I find that what I am doing when I paint, is lower the entropy of the image. I approach an area with a visceral urge to do something. It is as if the paintbrush just dips and touches the canvas without my guidance. I truly experience a guidance that is beyond my conscious intent and I am delighted and energized by the new meaning added to what is there already. A mark here links up to another mark elsewhere and a meaningful connection is established which adds new enhanced meaning to what was there. The enhanced meaning is a lowered entropy.
