PAYING ATTENTION IS WHERE THE RICHNESS, DISCOVERY AND GROWTH HAPPENS (Suggested for Stage Three; Learning)
In this interview Nicholas and Adam explore Adam’s fascinating experience and the insights and discoveries that were revealed to him throughout the process of creating 61 paintings, that to him, make up a single piece of work.
In this interview Adam shares:
-How the search for the perfect plein air setting led him to stop searching and paint one thing multiple times.
-By painting one subject over and over he was able to grasp how much change was actually going on around him.
-How in the beginning, he thought he was painting an ordinary pond and a tree, but learned that when you really pay attention the ordinary becomes the extraordinary.
-How there is incredible and vast freedom when you know the context, or the conceptual framework, you are working in.
-How putting our attention and our energy into something simple and clear, over time, can really reveal enormous complexities and the capacity to discover what’s within ourselves that’s underneath the surface.
