[Columbine]

Thanks! I only ~very~ rarely put any writing on my works asides from the signature (because I suck at making my kanji look 'pretty', only legible) and I wouldn't have used kana, only I was quoting from a poem which used it. That was waaay back in 2007 as well; i've improved a little since then!

The signature is two characters I yanked from my teacher's calligraphy dictionary; it gave kanji in various cursive forms. Believe it or not, that first one is 聖 and the second one is 良。I chose those because if the pronunciation is pretty similar to my christian name, and etymologically the meaning isn't completely dissimilar either. :/ I dunno, i'd change it, but the look of it is easy to recognize and it suits my style, and if no one can read the 'kanji', well I guess that's only fitting as my name should be in katakana anyway!

I quite like the way you paint bamboo leaves, and the style of the stem is interesting, i've never painted them like that.
