I Am Not an Artist to Paint a Painting Someone Else Has Already Painted

I am not an artist to paint a painting someone else has already painted.
If you look at my art and do not find it very strange, I have not accomplished what I have set out to do, and that is to paint a completely original painting in a style where no one has ever gone before.
It is the rake of raw color over rough white canvas.
It subjects the absurdities of life (sometimes so absurd I can coax a smile out of you)
My work is on one level very simple, no heavy background, but on the other hand very complex, as the colors and lines morph into intricate tales.
I generally paint on a white canvas to let the color shine in it's purity as it was intended to when created.
Also the wide open areas of white in my painting indicate the openness of real life where things are usually never piled on top of each other, and because I am a science buff this is also indicative of the fact most of reality IS empty space.
You will never get my paintings at one glance or even fifty glances, and that is what I think fine art should be, an exercise for the mind.
