This painting includes the Japanese characters for "Kouyou", a Japanese word that refers to leaves changing color in Autumn (in order to accommodate the vertical composition of the painting, I took some liberties in how I arranged the individual characters). The characters were painted in black gesso, with the leaf shapes masked, so that I could paint them in later.
