Mike, amazing work my friend

Mike Manley said...

Thanks all. The crit went great, I couldn't be happier about that. Warren, yeah I am happy with this one, and it helped looking at some Degas drawings at the PMA on Tuesday just before I finished it.

Again, the vowed influence of Degas is apparent. Lovely piece: great composition of light - dark foreground, light in the background, inspired. The dark areas of the coatstand and shadows by the table relate beautifully. Resonates with a tradition of 'domestic interiors'

Hey Drawman - I've been following your work for some time now and the way you're going with that art class you could consider starting a new career in fine art.

Mike Manley said...

Thanks again all, I feel good about the results and it was a big challenge. Lennard, I do plan on working into fine art as a second career. Who knows, maybe it will take off and be my first career? I haven't exactly figured out what it is I want to do besides it being figurative, that's something I am exploring in school and look forward to my 3rd and 4th years when I will be in my own the studio at school painting away.
