3 1/2" x 5" oil on canvas panelThis is a small skeleton key I borrowed from my sister. It's fun to paint these little antique pieces. I painted the key first on a black background really not sure what to do with the background. I ended up using a glaze of yellow ochre and then lightening the key up a bit for it to pop. I'm going to hammer one of my real old square nails into this painting as well. Down to 2 nails left.

Cheryl, I like the black background as it seems to help the key stand out and look crisp
Thanks Patrick...I wasn't sure how to handle the background and just kind of winged it. I appreciate your thoughts on it.
