The top one is "da" which means "big" and the bottom one is "ma" which means "horse". That was the name that my classmates gave me when I studied Mandarin Chinese at the Defense Language Institute in Monterrey, CA when I was in the Air Force in the 60's. I just used it on the painting for fun to make it look oriental. The paper is from a block of watercolor paper and the paint is just water based acrylic house paint that was leftover from something and sitting in can out back. Actually I did several prints using several colors but this one turned out the best. You should try this. It is easy and fun. Someday I intend to do some more...maybe :)Bob Mrotekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15016079751197723749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-18934722602736500802009-04-08T11:44:00.000-05:002009-04-08T11:44:00.000-05:00Love this post, great story, great piece of art. ...Love this post, great story, great piece of art.

And what do the Japanese characters in the lower right corner mean, is that your signature? What kind of paint and paper did you use? Did you do just the one print? <I>Buen hecho!</I>1st Matehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05276608080436409432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985623786044384912.post-59815332093761495002009-04-08T10:31:00.000-05:002009-04-08T10:31:00.000-05:00Quite a tale.
