thought and action.


Good Art.



Good art is the product of good thought.
Good thought is the product of action.
Action is the product of whim.
Whims are energetic thoughts,
propagating action.
Therefore the artist should, {if able},
always work standing up.
Never sit down, never drift into contemplation.
Contemplation does not lead to action.

Thus you can avoid abstract thought,
And reflect you’re current reality more clearly.




Actions.



Action, in terms of thought is that which provides a connection to the physical world, and holds you to reality.
If you flap you’re arms while in speech or pace the floor deep in thought then you cannot fly on imaginary wings to the sun and to doom.
For some the tapping of fingers on keys is action enough.
For some the action of moving a brush over canvas is action enough.
For others lying on their bed in silent contemplation, of their physical condition, is more than enough.


Action and thought.
