Phillip J. Mellen interviews painter Tim McFarlane about his work and process.

Speaking about his process, McFarlane comments: "My tendency is to work in layers, and a lot of times I'll go through several paintings on one piece. These days if I find something that I like… I know I did it, but it's go to go. That's how I allow myself to stay free… That one thing doesn't make a whole painting – it doesn't make the whole painting the best it can be."
