japanese tattoo artist? :)
I struggled with this prompt, too. Love the calligraphy. Perfect choice.
andy,
thanks for visiting. :)
Leo,
thank you!
japanese tattoos are beautiful and intricate. but if you are referring to the picture, it's a calligraphy by a japanese Zen priest, who was also a great artist. :)
Ron,
thanks! but your end product is very good. :) ( i have taken a look at your post)
A haiku of reverence? beautiful words.
Loved it! Writing done with great flourish indeed! Can picture the artist's bamboo brush swirling!
An enjoyable read.
This was a difficult prompt but I thought you handled it very well.
There is something peaceful about this art.....one day I would like to learn..maybe just how to hold the brush and draw strokes in the air
Oh, that first line is delicious! I'm still savoring it!
