I have always been intrigued by old skeleton keys and passage locks. This one I painted from a public domain photo on Image After. It was painted using 18th century reproduction watercolor paint on Arches 140# paper.

exquisite 'Skeleton Key', Ken - well done. I picked up some of the 18th century pigments while I was in the US for the holidays - hoping to upload a painting very soon - will keep you informed.

This is very nice. Nice foreshortening, with the rear handle of the key lighter in value and blurred slightly, simulating its greater distance. Lots of interest in this piece, with the haphazard, splotchy but lightly toned background, and the nice texture and imprint of the paper showing through.
