EDiM Day 9 - Draw a Lock

On day 9, we are challenged to draw a lock. When we moved into our 80-year-old house, several of the door locks had skeleton keys sticking out of them. I'm sure that's a metaphor for something profound: "Oh no! This door is locked! Well, looky there. A key! That's convenient!" I call this picture "The unlock" because I don't think you can call it a lock when the key is IN the lock! I enjoyed playing with the colors on this. The actual lock is brass with an 80-year patina.
