My photo
I am an artist who has lived in Los Angeles, New York City and, now, northern California. My initial interest in art was provoked by the Asian collection at the Seattle Art Museum when I was in high school, and it has continued to this day. I am not a collector, merely an admirer who has picked up the odd scroll, print or seal. Seals especially have engaged a deep involvement and I welcome this opportunity to share. For my own primarily sculptural works please visit my website lorenmadsen.com.

A simple and elegant square seal with facing swirls on the top.
Inscription: 丙申正月二十看(?) 三 日 達 受 志, bing shen zheng yue er shi kan(?) san ri da shou zhi, 1896 (or 1836 or 1956), the 20th day of the 1st lunar month, realized in 3 days (by) Shou Zhi
Impression: 實 迷 塗 其 未 遠, shi mi tu qi wei yuan, (A direct translation is difficult; the sense is:) It seems you are lost, but you're not far from the goal.
