"A person has as many secrets as they have metal keys"
Giving someone a metal key, means giving one of your secrets to that person. Maybe she is keeping an important secret for someone

I instantly had to think about the book "Lament" from Meggie Stiefvater. The Deirdre is wearing one of Lukes secrets around her neck ^~^

I really like this picture! Good work!

It's from no book - i'd say it's not even a character.Just a picture,which i'm very glad if you liked.

because it reminds me on bluebeard and his wife, who stole the key to get into the what he forbid her, do you know this tale?

Oh yes,i know it. No connection though,this was inspired by a song entitled "Flora's Secret",by Enya.

The key and roses - ideal partner. Her hair looks so sweet and her smiling of course.

She's so secretive, with her eyes covered, and her little smile. She sure've got some secrets locked up somewhere, and you've depicted that amazingly! The key only makes it obvious. ^w^
Oh, and she's really beautiful, ofcourse. I really love the way the flowers looks almost... braided into the hair, you know? Fastened, not like an ascessory, but like a part of her. ^^

The colours in this piece are lovely - bright, but not too garish, very beautiful and natural. The roses in her brown hair and her green dress all combine to make it very balanced (in colour as well as composition). I like how her face is partly hidden - it gives nice sense of mystery and magic - her neutral expression also adds to the ambiguity. Your use of vertical symmetry is great - adds a sort of 'classic' quality to it. Lastly, I really, really love the key pendant. It is the defining feature (for me) of this painting. There is something incredibly, wonderfully strange about keys, both literal and metaphorical. Just a small bit of innocuous metal that has the potential to open doors and unlock secrets.

I'm sure you can find one in second hand shops,vintage markets etc..then all you need is the chain.
