Dave, It is a bit tough to get the placement of the chop and letters right -but I think the name up and down does look better and the chop seems authentic to me. I feel like I've learned so much these last couple of days with regards to chops and color! Really has been fun!!!
Your orange orchid is gorgeous! I love the white BG with the addition of the simple black line!Well done!!
Dave this is very nice! This is the type of subject that I attempt to paint! The chop/calligraphy looks perfect to me (does it spell "dave" or "pizza":D) Whatever it spells, it looks great! I only wish for a little more room all around:).
