“Color is more important than anything else. It’s the real opening and opportunity for painting now. In the world today, we see a lot of wild and strange color—commercially made color, the color of cars, plastics, combined with the natural colors of the world, combined with media colors on television and movies and computer screens and strange lights from all of those sources. All of this is affecting us all of the time. But we don’t have emotional connotations for those colors. Painting is a way to deal with those emotional connections and integrate them into this wonderful history that painting is.”

Four Blue Hills.
I finally had three consecutive full studio days and had so much fun developing new things in my work! I think some of that fun came from listening to episodes of The Secret Stash and Tell ‘em Steve-Dave podcasts while painting and being able to take breaks with Spring in full tow.

“It’s basically just moving from being in a relationship with those people to being in a relationship with an oil painting, and my version of a relationship in an oil painting is an extreme process.”
“The fact that color has taken second place, you know, in the consideration of art or has been relegated to sort of the position of taste. It’s really important to me to reclaim it as a primary structure and not to do so with a kind of… what I think is like a really conservative political agenda of return to the good ol’ days. So I don’t want to make colors that seem entirely tasteful… I like the idea of… colors that really push the envelope and challenge the agenda of just simple, easy good taste.”
