This is a masterpiece, as far as I am concerned. I think this painting should be in a museum. The back of the painting has the artist's old home address and phone number. I just realized that I better delete that image as it is private information. I can say that it is by Sally Fox- Seibel and she put a copyright symbol on the back of the painting. I found some of these locks at an estate sale and hung them on the wall from an old square nail by this painting.
I just updated the photos by adding a picture of some real locks that are much like the one in the painting. I found them at an estate sale this year.
