Handpainted, Handcarved, Handmade Bed

Dennis,

What a great looking bed. I agree that it has the Arts and Crafts feel and with the out line of the carving with the tree trunks a greene and greene cloud lift affect. Very nice.

Are you placing it in the gallery for sale or is it being sold to the gallery. Weiser Idaho, I have a cousin that lives it Payette Idaho not to far from Weiser. I haven’t been to Weiser for quite some time.

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

This is a gorgeous bed!!! As for what style it would fall under just try “Gorgeous Beds”!!! I am glad it evolved from a log bed to this, you should be really proud of it.

Very nice, Dennis. Great carvings. It does have an Arts and Crafts feel to it, but down here it would fall into the “Texas Style” furniture, maybe a little more refined. Nice design. Thanks for the post.

Distinctly Mitchell style. A combination of Rustic and Arts and Crafts and a bit of Whimsy thrown in for good measure. The carving and the painting are fantastic.

I absolutely love the colors and the carving! As for style…don’t try to define it. Just enjoy it as the masterpiece it is!

very nice work Dennis. I vote for “Folk-Art”.

I told you a couple of years ago, that I think this type of work is your forte. Great job, great carving, beautiful carved image. Can you expand on the “story” of the carving.

Very well done Dennis – I checked out the North Wind Gallery and your work should fit in there very well. The next time we travel through Weiser – I am going to make sure I stop there – maybe some of your work will be on display -

Sorry for the double post – Dennis – but was wondering if this is one of your regular outlets for your works ?

-- "Have you hugged your pet today?" ---------- Larry

Yes Larry. Right now it is the only one for my furniture. They have some nice work there.

It’s fantastic,Dennis…I wouldn’t try to put a name on it because the Craftsmanship speaks for itself : )

I would call the style IDAHOAN Artisan

Dennis beutiful work !!!Lets call it “Mitchell Style”.I agree with Mark I think this is your niche.

Real beautiful bed Dennis, very artistic. I have carved a few things in alder myself and have found it very nice to work with. Everyone here in Noway say that it is a much under-used wood. I agree.

-- Mike, American in Norway

Thanks Mike. In this part of the usa we use it quite a bit. It is a fun wood.

I call it pretty darn nifty!!! good work my friend.

-- Thos. Angle

Thanks Thos!
Less than 6 weeks after delivery, I get told they are closing down the gallery. Two weeks building it, a couple hundred in materials, Over 500 miles on the road delivery and pick up. Being an artist sucks! I’m a little pissed…
