When objects are applied to my actions and choices, they often come about because of necessity, for what ever reasons are important. In order to allow a process to work, we need to understand its behaviour intimately and this is what the painter tries to do with his or her practise, in an attempt to finely tune the senses such as eyesight, hearing, touch, tactile, skin on paint etc, muscle, force, and hair, the nervous system, skull, matted fabric and odour. Things that are caused out of necessity are usually for the better. If we learn the art of spontaneity through accidents, everything else which isn't necessitated is destroyed and continues to be destroyed. It baffles me why at a mundane and more serious level they are seen as bad, negative or clumsy, when accidents could be used in a positive way.

If I allow a painting to contain its own source of change or any form for that matter, the results are often more successful, that is, the object occurs naturally. My decisions of how a painting will progress are dictated by its own specific nature. This is difficult because one characteristic of the craft is both destructive and subject to change as well. For this reason we cannot categorise it as a thing which is unchanging or a primary entity in the universe, even though it may seem at times, that this is the end purpose of an Artists endeavours.

This characteristic keeps an Artist working. It involves laws of matter that determine the activity of our decisions. When objects in the world are applied to thought and ideas they become the concerns of something not material but psychological as well. Painting when it is an honest activity is good painting. We are engrossed in the form and the thing actually is! (note, forth cause is when something reaches actuality, when an Artist starts to recognise a pattern of work progressing.) The end of a work of art has a very specific nature and is impossible to continue when it is complete. We continually go through these processes of development for each work of Art and they seem to be different every time! The final cause is crucial in nature so that a form can be brought into actuality. It is an infinite process whereby explanation contributes to our projected ideas.
