The image, altered, is a Flickr-free-to use.  Fence and keys Lorie Davison SBG.  Splodges of paint my own.  Thanks to Bev for the thoughtful theme. 

Glenys (Fibre Arts Collage) has asked me to post a link to her entry for this week's Muses challenge as she is away at a fibre arts conference.  You can find it HERE

    Such a tragic image, makes me think of those late night mysteries I watch on tv where some deviant is trapping some young lady and locking her in his secret room (grins)...you certainly have a knack for bringing out a lot of my thought process, Marie, and beautifully created as always.

    Oh, I could learn a lot from you! I don't know how to "go there" and some of these types genres actually frighten me. But I've had some requests for such work and you are truly an inspiration in this piece. Colorful, well arranged and fascinating.

    Marie, all I can say is "FANTASTIC!"
    You are growing so much in your art, branching in all different directions like a beautiful flowering vine!
    This is so spooky, and the blue and red just vibrate--they are that intense!
    Kudos to you!
