Artist's Comments

Simply done with water paints
A calligraphy pen and India ink for the writing
Touch up with photo shop (border resizing)

I think it looks better R/L
My friend gave me the idea to write what ever comes to my mined around the keyhole as I did so. It’s mainly nonsense to add a touch of depth to the piece

Enjoy~

"we all break
as we tumble
and turn down
mountainsides that
would have better left
us unscathed had
we ignored them
and walked around"

This is a story about a man called Robert Lewis. Robert was quite an adventure seeker. He was hiking through the Sahara desert this time. He was walking for quite some time and was exhausted from his long walk. He was just deciding to have a rest when he saw a small hut in the distance. He thought how weird it was for a little hut to be situated in the midst of the desert, but he thought of the longing warmth of the fire and decided otherwise. He walked to the hut and knocked on the door...but he got no response. He knocked again, harder this time. An old man dressed all in white with a long white beard answered the door. Robert was taken aback. He wasn't really expecting someone to answer the door. "Oh! Please come in. You must be cold and starving!" said the old man. Robert nodded and followed him inside: "I'm famished. Thank you! My name is Robert. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind letting me sleep here tonight. I won't take up much space. I'll just camp in one corner." Robert managed to flash one of his winning smiles. The old man chuckled at Roberts comments. "You can take the old room in the corner! You will find a small cot and fresh bedsheets in the drawers! You can stay here as long as you want to. I'm an old man in need of company." Robert was too grateful for this kind gesture. He walked over to his room and threw himself on the small bed in the corner overlooking the window. He thanked the old man and dozed right off...He woke up with a start and looked at his wrist watch to find it pointing to 3:00am. He was puzzled as to who would be playing a piano at this time of the night. He walked out of the comforts of his room to the hallway and listened hard. He noticed the beautiful tune coming from the middle room. Recalling what the old man had said he was astounded how music could be coming from a locked room. He peeked through they keyhole and found a pretty girl with astonishingly silver hair sitting and playing the piano. He was so mesmerized with her music that he lost track of time. He snapped awake from his trace by the looming sleep in his eyes and the rumble in his stomach. He forced himself back to his room and tried to sleep but he couldn't take the vision of the girl playing out of his eyes. he chanced another peek. He walked back to the key hole, but this time all he saw was the colour red. Puzzled he couldn't resist his tired body screaming for sleep. In the morning he was wakened by the old man with the breakfast tray. He remembered his encounter for last night and mulled up his energy to ask:"I couldn't help but notice a beautiful girl playing mesmerizing music...Who is she and why is she locked in the room?" The old man sighed:"She is my daughter!" Robert was shocked:"But why have you locked her inside?" The old man replied:"That room was locked 3 years before when the sudden demise of my daughter rocked this house." Robert was speechless:"But I saw her!!!?!!" The old man said: "You only saw her spirit! She died of an infection that spread in her eye. Her eye turned all red, before she gave up her last breath" Robert was taken aback.The second time he chanced a look The room was all was all RED!!!

Imagine looking through a key hole and finding someone else staring back *shudders*:fear:
