I am honored and thrilled that I have been chosen by Imagekind as one of the three "Featured Artists of the Week." I hope this increased exposure will entice those not familiar with Ikebana to visit my galleries and experience this Japanese art form which I love so much.

A New Milestone
During the weekend, the My Fans counter on my Imagekind gallery clicked past 1000. I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to look at my work. I especially appreciate those of you who have written to me to comment on my Ikebana Art. It has been an inspiration.

An Iris is an Iris is an Iris?
The iris is one of my favorite flowers to work with. I love its sensuous blossoms and pointed buds. Walking through my garden, the white and purple masses of the early-blooming variety of beard irises are a feast for the eyes. But have you ever inhaled their exotic scent? Hmmm!
I never noticed it until I started to work with them.

'The Dutch Tulip'
Those of you who have visited this blog know me by my Japanese name 'Baiko' (Plum Blossom) which the Sogetsu School gave me when I was awarded the title 'Sensei' or Master.
But, for my American father-in-law, I am and will always be 'The Dutch Tulip' because I hail from Holland and love to work with this symbol of my country.

Magical Music
Often it seems that music is everywhere we go. But not exclusively in the natural sounds that fuse into spontaneous symphonies. This work is inspired by a piece of vegetation found on a recent hike which uncannily resembles a musical notation. Or an instrument? JW says this piece reminds him of an angel's harp.
