Great composition. After looking at it for a while I noticed on the U shaped loop at the front, there is a little flesh colored reflection. Is it you? A wonderful little surprise.
Laurel, Kathleen, Jean - Thanks very much! Jean, that's hilarious--I painted it because I saw it, but I never thought about what it might be! It must be either me or the easel or both...how funny.
I'm a painter (and writer and Spanish instructor) living in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. I studied classical art in an ARC (Art Renewal Center) school, Colorado Academy of Art, full-time for two years, in order to benefit from the rigorous atelier-style training. I am currently dedicated to exploring abstract and semi-abstract art, working in oil and also in soft pastel. I firmly believe that all human beings are creative, whether or not they have yet found an outlet for the innate creative urge, and that the creative arts are the highest form of human expression.

Very compelling!
Who would thought a lock could be such a beautiful subject. I agree , very compelling.
There you go again Jala, making an everyday object beautiful!!!!! WOW!
Bravo, you are firing on all cylinders with this one. Happy to see the Gods are agreeing with you. I don't think they ever left!
i don't see the key
Hi Jala, I love how you rendered that silver hook at the bottom. That's where my eye goes in this wonderful painting.
It LOOKS like you made it with ease. How cool! Wonderful composition, wonderful reflections!!
Thank you Casey, Dori, Loriann, Brian!!
Michael - No, in this position you can't see the key, but that's why its shadow (the little loop) is so fun.
Janelle - Cool, that's where I wanted the viewer's eye to stay longest!
Karen - Thank you!
You nailed this little mechanical gadget. I LOVE the spot of blue and those fabulous silver highlights.
Just goes to show, good paintings can make even the most mundane things look beautiful!
