Back story:
What was the dominate technical aspect of this painting . . . the value pattern.
What area of the painting did I go after . . . the background.

This piece was about…the balance between busy and quiet areas.  

The foreground is almost a flat sillouette. 

While the background has all the activity and depth.

The balance of the two make the composition work. 

Yes it's true . . . the back ground and foreground are from two different locations.~ Interior painting by Scott Grabowski
