Description
I began this piece with a large Enso circle I painted with India ink. From there I added a background made, in part, with calligraphy written in a letter from Japan in the mid 1940s. The overall texture, under the letter/calligraphy, is a photograph I took of a cement wall on Whidbey Island. Can you see how much fun creating my photomontages can be? If you look closer in the lower right, there are two circles, which are macro photos I took of the back of a metal locker tag. More hand-painted scribbles and lines and I called it a day. I also offer a square version of this picture.

I agree with Claudia - love hearing (and then seeing) about all the pieces and parts of your compositions. This one is definitely a winner!
Carol Leigh replied:
Thank you, CJ. I know you like hearing about all the details, and I always think of you when I include them in the description. I should just start talking about things that aren't even in the picture, just to baffle you! "In the upper left corner I included a couple of chopsticks to echo the shapes of the dried ramen noodles in the center..." Hahahahaha! Seriously, though, thanks for your words of confidence.

Dear Carol, I always appreciate (love) how carefully you choose the ingredients to make your images so very much more than a sum of ther parts. So livey and lovely! l/f

I accidentally lost my reply to your comments, and it was worded SO well! I was saying how much I appreciate the time you took to leave such a nice comment, and how you are always so encouraging. Thank you so much.
