Sex as Art

I view making love as an expression of ones love, even fucking if its with the one you love is still "expressing ones self", like art. If I were to tell the artist how to paint and what to paint, it would no longer be his/her work of art. It would not be an expression that comes from their own heart and mind and the painting would not be as meaningful.


How does that make the artist feel when they are dictated to? Maybe the artist doesn't have enough confidence that people will like their work of art. The canvas is blank unless they are told what to do. I'm not thinking that the artist can't paint without being told what to paint, but wouldn't the artist feel pressured, causing the canvas to remain blank. Maybe even cause artistic dysfunction?


Then there is the object of the expression, the canvas. It remains empty, just waiting to be brushed and stroked with the vibrant colors of the painters brush; waiting for the artist to create a work of art upon its body. It is a gift. The canvas just wants to feel the passion of the artists expression. If the canvas loves the artist, it does not matter what the artist paints.


If you tell me what to paint it is not an expression I can call my own. If you ask me what to paint, its not an expression of your own. The artist worries. The pressure on the canvas and the artist becomes too great for the artist to perform or the canvas to enjoy the brush. Just paint! Be the artist!
