Its been a very slow progression with the development of this piece. I don't know why. Sometimes everything falls into place and its simply a matter of the painting time to make everything be complete. This piece I wanted to be a more subtle classic kind of paint decoration. it is coming together piece by piece. I have finished the bottom drawer with the center section whale painting. I like the black , white and neutral tone. Everything will be richer and have more depth after the graining , glazing step. The painting has to work before that step. I have started the back painting. It will be interesting how that will work out. I also have to work on the drawers above the swag drawer. I started to put some words on the drawers, but didn't like that , so removed them. I think that I will continue to work on the scene on the back next. Also have an idea for sides and will work up some sketches for the sides.
