Rick Steinburg and I had a great chat all about the art of painting. We got into talking about the need to create, his unique use of "found objects" in his pieces, being playful with art, what the "car test" equivalent is for Rick as a visual artist, his blues musician alter-ego "Stone House" and the importance of honoring lost loved ones through creativity.

Deep Dive: We focused on one piece of his called "The Musician Sings the Monster We Are".  We talked about what his inspiration was for the piece, how art can be used to shine a light on ourselves as a society (sometimes not necessarily a flattering one), how he used found objects for this piece, the use of a power drill to paint and the ever-present balancing act of abstract vs. too abstract.

Thank you for listening.  Please remember to like and subscribe to the show wherever you listen to your podcasts!

Patreon-Only Bonus Section: We got to chat all about his approach to developing stories behind the paintings, what it's like for Rick to see his art on display, "video tours" of his art on Instagram and using modern technology to navigate the artistic world.
