Keystone Crowd, a 1968 tempera on thick stock that hasn't yet made it into one of our Flora anthologies. Unpublished, uncirculated, previously unseen work currently sitting in storage. Pennsylvania is the Keystone State, but the artist's title reference remains a mystery.

Keystone in this case is probably a reference to the Keystone patterns used by Greeks and Romans which has a similar look to it. Very popular as decoration on mid-century ceramics and still used.
Authoritative perspective, Ray, and a likelier explanation than any I could offer. Thanks much.
I agree with Ray, though I am in no way authoritative, and can offer very little perspective.
A whole month with no updates? I'm going into withdrawal...
Ernie: We regret having been lax with Flora posts, but we've been incredibly busy with other projects (some Flora-related). We have countless more images to share and expect to resume regular posting in the next few weeks. Fear not—the blog has not been abandoned. Thanks for the nudge.
