Kelly no Kaki

Kelly's Magic Persimmons

by Casey

This sumi-e was created and dedicated for my daughter, Kelly, who is fighting leukemia. There was a lot of love and hope that went into the creation of this ink painting. The media is sumi (ink) and Japanese watercolor with flecks of gold. The original painting is not for sale and was exhibited in an art exhibition in Tokyo, Japan.

Kelly no Kaki means Kelly's Persimmons in Japanese

Art prints are available of this stunning sumi-e at:

Scroll Mounting

Sumi-e 'Spring Flower Fall'

Mounted in a two color scroll

Mounting an ink painting in a traditional scroll is an interesting process and not for the faint of heart.... let me tell you. It's a tricky business not to ruin your finished artwork in the process. I do not usually mount my work in a scroll. My sumi-e is modern and contemporary. It is usually framed Western style. I thought it might be fun to mount some of my work in a traditional Asian way and see what the result looked like and I was extremely pleased by the contrast. It is definitely 'East meets West' in nature.

What do you think?

Leave me a comment.

I am thinking that I may do more scroll mounting of my work in the future.
