Description
I have a huge Japanese ledger book that has a tattered, faded cover. I photographed the book cover, which forms the faded calligraphy in the middle of this piece. And then I added photos of my own brushwork, a monoprint I'd made, random marks, and more. I like the faded blue "enso" circle and how that same blue is echoed in the calligraphy. The warm glow, the cooler blues, the texture -- all combine well for an interesting abstract image. This would look good if it were printed onto metal. Even a throw pillow would look good!

Thank you very much to the buyer in North Carolina who ordered this print today. Some of the nicest people I've ever met live in North Carolina, so I assume it's going to a wonderful location!

This image has proven to be pretty popular, and I thank this morning's buyer for selecting it. Nice to know it will soon be hanging on a wall somewhere in Ohio. -- Carol Leigh

I was the buyer... I just started a new job and I bought it for my office. It looks wonderful! For me, it blends the calmness of zen, while giving energy with the orange. Not an easy combination to find! Thank you Carol!
