I don't. Never liked it much at all.

what did Terrence Malick mean by this scene? was the painter supposed to represent the Church? or was it Malick talking through him?
at the end he says "someday I'll paint the true Christ", and apparently his upcoming film is about Jesus Christ himself.

Might be about the fact that Christianity has been flattened in the last couple of centuries. It's been overly aestheticized and the pain and suffering Christ endured for us, as well as the notion of Martyrdom pushed to the edges of what people consider Christian. Remember the outcry when Gibson's Passion came out? How they cried about the bloodshed? The painter says he paints Christ with a Halo, maybe implying what he feels he should paint him with is a crown of thorns.

I like this analysis, especially when the painter says "I paint their comfortable Christ", implying in his own interpretation Christ wouldn't have been comfortable in all of that suffering, and the lack of an explicit representation is what made people forget the essence of what his martyrdom implies.
maybe your comment about the crown of thorns is a hint at what Terrence's depiction of Christ would look like, maybe like the painter in that scene he'll have the courage to venture and paint what he deems to be the true Christ.

>Docetism (from the Greek δοκέωdokeō, "to seem") is the belief thatbJesus' physical body was an illusion, as was his crucifixion; that is, Jesus onlyseemedto have a physical body and to physically die, but in reality he was incorporeal, a pure spirit, and hence could not suffer or die

Another possibility or rather extension is that the painter refers to not considering himself to be a good Christian, not following Christ's call, his demand as he says. He says he can not paint what he hasn't lived through, perhaps expressing a longing to become a true image of Christ.
That's just heresy.
