“I’ve been thinking about why I consume so much bad pop culture while I paint. The best I can come up with is that I need a little “comfort food” while I’m nurturing a painting. The meticulous nature of how I paint diminishes some of the immediate energy found in other styles of painting…I get more fulfillment out of the painting process by “building” in layers. Maybe there’s some sort of psychological component that won’t allow me to fully immerse myself in something as immediate as painting in one sitting.”
