Thank you Jim. This is all my own design except I got the idea for the frame from a similar one I had seen years ago in a craft store. As for the Kanji , I went to a Kanji web site and I am hoping what it says on the right top is something about a beautiful lady meeting a crane with a joyful clapping of hands and bottom left should be my signature "Pearl" If your Mom can read it I would like to know just what it does say so please let me know what she says. I have been worried that perhaps I might be saying something not quite polite.
It's interesting you asking if this was from a wood block print as this is sort of a new version of a wood block like painting I did in 2001, using gouache as a resit and then painting over with India ink , see below. This one also is my own design. |
