Every one wants to UNLOCK the Door of their prison d life. but the same time they want to LOCK many other things. so I believe KEY is the answer for both.

Very cool the way the Arches paper embossment runs parallel with the vertical of the door and then, horizontal with the edge of the paper. Not to mention the overall design of this. A frank, unaffected innocence to this -- I want the inside circle of the knob to have more shine, but I know also that's unlikely since the entire fixture is tarnished with age.

Ken Powers replied:

Thank you Kip! I do think it would have been improved by more shine in the center of the knob as well.

Hey Ken, Okay, I'm going to prove to you that I used to be a fool (some might still think so.) A few years ago I went to a friends Christmas party. At the party were a lot of goodies and one of them was Lox and Bagels. I never had that before so I asked a friend what they were called. I made the analogy of locks and doors. So next year (I guess since they like me the first year) I was invited back. I made a hugh mistake when I compliemented my friend the host on the doors and bagels. You should have seen her puzzeled face. When I look at some of you work it reminds me of that situation. So, next year if I make a mistake and compliment you on you lox's, you'll know why.

This looks like the doorknobs in my old farmhome! Very, very nicely done.

Thank you for your comment on 'the porch'. I was helping a beginning artist understand lighting, shadow, perspective when i di this piece. i see you like to play with shadows also.

I am really just getting started Ian. My main occupation is as a band instrument repair technician. As far as my art goes, I am currently representing myself but plan to expand to galleries in the future. I am very passionate about what I am doing and am excited to see how my work evolves over time. What an incredible journey we are on.

Dear Ken, I admire your work. I noticed that you use unique, handmade antique pigments, I may have to try some out. I like your subjects - really nice, well observed work. You have an unusual eye. I hope your work is selling well on the West Coast. Do you show at galleries, or are you mainly self-representing? Be well, Ian Newbury

This also has the same expert conception and execution as the glass door knob piece -- perhaps even better, because you don't have the transparent beauty of the other's crystal knob. But all the same power and tension is here. Very dynamic piece, with appropriate care in all the right places. A successful illusion of the knob itself thrusting towards us right out of the picture.

Ken...I like the detailing and realism of your keys and locks...and I appreciate your comments on my barn and hometown scenes. I'm new at this, and I've probably used the wrong comment section...but wanted to see your work anyway...and it was worth coming to visit!
