I think it's got to be something magical. I see it happening like this: You (the artist) visualize a concept in your mind, and it is so strong and compelling, you have an overwhelming feeling that the painting is going to be good. Of course you have to have the skill to pull it off, too. The painting, aside from the usual technical problems to be figured out, paints itself, and the result transcends itself, somehow. It speaks to the viewer on several levels at once. It's beautifully painted, it has depth and color and focal point, but it also says something that you can't forget.
