Nature's art

Mum is a fan of gardening, and is quite gifted at this art. This is one of her works which she has decided to showcase indoors.


Yes, please conveniently overlook the slightly browned edges of some leaves.

Anyway, that's not the point.

I was amazed when I looked closely at the leaves, in particular, its blend of colours. A strip of light green runs through the centre, as though someone had taken a paintbrush and nonchalantly given it a sweep.


You can measure how successful a fake is by how closely it resembles the real thing. Yet an indication of a real object's perfection is how synthetic it actually looks.

Ironic, but beautifully so.
