Alabama Art Colony - Harry Ally - 1st Painting Session
On Saturday morning Harry began a painting here in the painting studio alongside 25 other artists at Alabama Art Colony on Lake Martin. He paints intermittently between walking around and talking to the artists at the workshop. Here is a short video clip from the first day of colony.
Last night Harry gave a slide presentation & question & answer. Patt Odom made a comment that had us all pondering. I will try to get her to talk to me more today and share here as the understanding progresses. It traversed the edges of some thoughts that have been progressing in my recent head. I will share with you the tumble of keywords & thoughts thus far:
KEY/CLUE WORDS:
gestalt via foreground/background
interior/exterior
participation/dictation
dialogue/monologue
control/empower
stars/levels
developing true north/doing as you are told
hatching yourself/being pecked out of your shell
