Relax, the future
Is already unfolding
From long-planted seeds

This makes a beautiful print for anyone going through life changes or worrying about the future—which covers just about all of us, at one time or another. It serves as a gentle reminder that we don't have to struggle and stress to create the life we want; we can breathe and trust in the process. 

I wrote this haiku and then painted the piece, featuring three small seedlings pushing their way through the earth, with sumi ink and watercolors on rice paper. It is stamped in red with my personal seal, reading "Annette Makino" in Chinese. 

This is an 11" x 14" digital print, professionally printed on an HP Indigo press that produces offset-quality reproductions. Prints are made using fade-resistant ink on acid-free paper from a supplier that is certified to be 100% carbon-neutral. Each piece is individually stamped in red and signed by me. It will fit in a standard 11x14 mat or frame.

This piece is packaged flat with a piece of mat board in a cellophane bag; a flyer describing my work is enclosed. It ships first class in a sturdy photo mailer.
