Bedroom Triad-10x8

$800 framed
headed to Rowley Gallery in Orleans, Mass.

here's the finished piece from the underpainting post i did below. i like the dreamy light in this one. my favorite ten square inches of the painting is the bottom front of the armoire. tell you what...portraying that carving on the front was tricky! going for accurate but impressionistic. that razors edge i'm always talking about chasing. its my "holy grail".

Awesome Mike! I know what you mean about accurate but impressionistic. Those are my favorite types of paintings. David Nance, who is from my area and shows at City Art gallery in Greenville does many styles from realistic to abstract, but also does awesome impressionistic type pieces sometimes that have that very look.

justin- like nance's stuff too! and he likes to shake it up from one end of the spectrum to the other but all still very "nance"

Same goes for your stuff Mike. Even when you experiment with things, it still looks all very "Rooney" to me, and that's awesome!
