Thanks, Ken. Now I wonder if I should have left more space around this thing. Oh, well. It must be OK if you like it.

The amount of space you left forms a frame – it’s nicely balanced, to my eyes anyway. It’s always interesting to see old labels curl up and break apart like this. Chemical Dumping?

I have no idea what this sign said originally. I think it’s so neat how the ink has outlived the paper in some places. Thanks for weighing in on the framing of this, Lynn.

I like the way the sign gives it more of a semi-abstract quality, providing clues of scale and context. Lovely palette here too.

Thanks for your comment, John. I appreciate your analysis. My palette is rarely pastel; it’s sort of fun for a change.
