SLP 359

359 days into my year long making of a daily still life. Delwyn challenged me to produce an image 'that conveys the impression of Japanese minimalistic art'. I found this an exacting enterprise but which I thoroughly enjoyed. Luckily I found this fallen lichen and moss covered twig which seemed to me to be the perfect subject for this challenge and when I added the haiku by the master Japanese poet Matsuo Basho (松尾 芭蕉, 1644 – November 28, 1694) it came to life for me.

I think that works well. I like the addiiton of the poetry

[Susan Wakely]

Oh well done. You have well and truly met the brief.

[Dave]

Nicely done minimalist image and poem

[Suzanne]

I am a great Basho fan and this is a lovely photographic accompaniment to that haiku and in the style of presentation of books of haiku. Well done

[thedarkroom]

I love this minimalism.

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Well done!

[Annie D]

Well done!

[Kathy]

What an interesting challenge, but then I remember that you have a pull toward Japanese art. I think you met the challenge well.

[Delwyn Barnett]

I like the addition of the verse Andrew. I am glad you enjoyed the challenge. I do like your image.
