Love is the Key

"Love is the Key" by Eau Claire-based artist Rehanna Petska @rehannahj (private) on the back of The Metro at 201 East Lake Street, Eau Claire, Wisconsin in August 2020. Photos taken June 2021.

Thanks @rehannahj for answering my questions: “Thank you! How nice. It was acrylic paint and also spray paint!”

"The mural was commissioned by Benny Haas, owner of The Metro... Since The Metro is a venue for many weddings, Haas wanted a hotspot for picturesque photo opportunities – which extends beyond happy couples, Petska said. Their goal is to create a new photo op for senior portraits, date nights, or casual nights out on the town....Petska primarily painted the mural at night after working her day job at a local group home." https://volumeone.org/articles/2020/08/27/265576-love-is-the-key-thats-the-message-of-a

'The
idea came together when The Metro's ownership asked Petska to incorporate the word "love" somehow and she loves the look of old skeleton keys.
⠀⠀⠀
Petska began working on the mural in August and said she hopes it reminds people of whats really important in life.
⠀⠀⠀
"It's just something nice to look at instead of the state of the world at times," Petska said. "I think maybe this can be a source of inspiration for people."' https://www.wqow.com/news/new-downtown-mural-celebrates-love/article_ccc7a93c-634a-5379-9795-4d8d45e9a49f.html
