Zen and the art of posing Martina. (Patreon)

Ikebana is the Japanese art of arranging cut flowers.
It is an interesting discipline and gives stunning results, let's say it is a refined version of the glass vase present on the left of this picture.

But I prefer my still life compositions to include a live Martina in them, right in the middle.
The human element is adding a great deal of charm, in my mind.
The result is less mystic, but definitely more pleasing to the eye 😊
