EmptyEasel Featured Artist

I am very thrilled to announce that Dan at EmptyEasel has chosen me as this week’s featured artist. He wrote a very perceptive review of my work which he entitled Baiko's Ikebana Art. What pleases me most is that Dan didn’t know a thing about Ikebana prior to seeing my work. He is a very knowledgeable art critic and that is exactly how he approached my work. He looked without any pre-conceptions. He has made some very insightful remarks which I hope will help the art buying public appreciate the Art of Ikebana. This is my homage to the late Sofu Teshigahara, the founder of the Sogetsu School and modern Ikebana.

I just read your review on Empty Easel, and had to come here and tell you what beautiful work you do. It's beyond beautiful...the epitome of a thousand words...they speak for themselves.
I am a watercolor artist, and am inspired to try some of these arrangements for myself to paint...though I know I will not come close to the beauty you create. Thanks for the inspiration. Do you mind of I put a link to your blog on mine? I would like to share this.

I just discovered EmpytEasel.com myself and love the site! Dan is helpful and humble and it will be a pleasure, I'm sure, to read the article about your work when I pop in there next.

Congratulations!

I.

Oh I would never use one of your arrangements to paint from...I have a great respect for your creativity, and wouldn't dream of infringing on it! I'll just bask in the serenity every now and then...
