Sorry, I’ll try and clarify. The ideal is for the viewer to get into my zone at the time of painting, but for the viewer to do that is like asking someone to know the mind of another - a difficult task for anyone! Surely the best I can hope for is for the viewer to have their own experience based upon their knowledge, perceptions and understanding. Maybe my painting can draw them as close as possible to my “zone” at the time of painting but I appreciate that I may or may not achieve this for different people.

Maybe if the viewer heard the music that I heard at the time of painting, it might open things up more.

But what I am suggesting is that for me to be in the Zone I need to feel a more specific connection. I am sensing that you are more content with a general experience, one that encourages whatever it is that we happen to have happen.

Thanks for following-up as I am curious about what you are trying to do and why I want more.

I would encourage contentment if there’s a pull between simple life and greed. The middle way of art.

“It’s like when everyone is listening to music in a club or anywhere else, they get into their own zone, and have their own experience and this is what I try and convey in my art.”

I’m not dancing. I want more. I want more than what I already have. I live a simple life but I am also Greedy.

I appreciate that we see a representation of Trikaya differently - that’s cool, and I expect all our art to be viewed differently.

Yes, meaningful abstraction is a good description of how I work. I think abstraction draws me deeper everyday; to reach into producing my inner self on canvas, guided by music.
