symbols and motifs
An artist can become fixated by certain symbols and motifs which will reoccur in their work time after time. The symbols are not always easy to interpret, even for the artist. You can just simply get a feeling for something, something that seems significant about a certain object or motif. Then there is a degree of security to be had in using it, it becomes an old friend. When struggling with the early tentative marks of a painting it is comforting to emblazon the panel with a familiar image.
