"Our Bed" contemporary figurative painting

In the coming months, I will be concentrating on interior still lifes with natural lighting.  I tried to use more of a generous painterly style with wet brush strokes, but I can still see that I am addicted to working the paint into the canvas and using dry-brush techniques.  I think the key to moving forward is to use "washes" of diluted paint so that I can get what I need without being so aggressive with the brush.  Still, it appears to be a good first effort.  I think this next series should produce some spectacular results.   On the other hand, I may have what I need stylistically in this painting already.  I think the "photo-realistic" and sketched elements play off each other very well, and a version with all sketched elements removed might be less interesting.
