"Keyholes," is a pen/ink abstract on 11" x17" Canson canvas paper...with great symbolic meaning within,...encryptions from life experiences. Did you notice that the stop light is not correct in terms of the locations of the red and green lights? I do that sometimes to see how closely people are looking at the piece!!

Novel concept and excellently executed, Mark! Life experiences and a bit of intellect/heart is what each artist should bring to a piece to give it greater meaning and depth---though I'm a firm believer in 'encryption' also. :)

Artist Reply: I know you are really, "Mr. Encryption," in my book, Charles. thank you so much for the excellent comments, feedback and insights into this piece. I sold quite a few of these prints early on! Thanks you for looking at my work again, Charles...always amazed by yours! :)))

You have terrific use of colors in your art. Looks great! Gotta love keyholes. I am a fan.

Artist Reply: Hey thanks for the compliments and the fan part, Brian. As well, I enjoy looking at the development of your detailed images. I really had fun with the colors, so thanks. I can't wait to see how your beautiful dog face turns out. You really captured the eyes and texture in your piece. Love your work too...a fan! :)

Stunning and very original work!!!! Love the idea!

Artist Reply: Thank you so very much for your words of plenty, words of support and your feedback on this piece. My cousin Terry, who is a graphic artist in the metro-San Francisco area loved this one so much, I gave a copy to him for Christmas to thank him for appreciating my art work. He and his wife had done all of the graphics for one of the Super Bowls. Love you pics and captures!

What a charming picture

Artist Reply: Well John, I am very pleased to hear that you like this one. I got ideas about it while working arts and crafts almost every day, especially the kinds of signs we were hanging at the time. to me, they looked like rows of keyholes. From this piece I created my ink/pen on gallery canvas(20" x 30") with an acrylic base,...my, "Leaning Tower of Keyholes," c.2010. Cho, my friend!
