Iemoto Class conducted by Gaho Isono at Sogetsu Kaikan

I experienced trouble with Cineraria flowers. There seems to be a solution to most challenges and today I learned how to deal with sagging Cineraria.

Ume Blossom - Sumi-e

Painting Ume blossom in readiness for the Sakura season, which is so close

The Iemoto explained to the class that we must challenge ourselves constantly and do an arrangement everyday to keep pushing our creativity.

As ikebana artists we must continue to challenge ourselves through practice plus working outside our comfort zone. It is the only way we will grow

Far too long since enjoying my Sumi-e
