Wow! It was easy to find the ignore button.

I have Entered and been judged with several of my Penjing and classed in the Top 10% among hundreds of Entrys, i am not in the habit of justifying my work however for your benefit I make this exception and BTW David ranked me 1st in his 2 day class...FWIW

Ah yes... your successes are legendary here at B'nut!!!

Yeah Front Royal is pretty much a shooting range. Not many trad archers though. I am on Archery Talk and Trad Archery every day. Down to about 30 bows now, mostly longbows. Shoot nearly every day. Hope to meet up with you someday at some bonsai event. I could disagree with you so much but I really respect your bonsai wisdom.

I'm from mid-valley-- Augusta county. used to hunt over in Highland and West Augusta when I was a kid. Only used two bows, that magnum and a 50 lb Grizzly. Made my own arrows. Haven't shot in years though.

Great memories of archery, young teenager adventures.
Slings from vines, and casting aluminium to make knives.

Please post something better than these if you believe that there isn't such a thing as a master.

Hardly. Leonardo daVinci was well known and revered. As was Rembrandt. Monet and Manet were well known, as rebels!

Maybe you’re thinking about Vincent Van Gogh. You’re right about him.

When standing in front of a Monet painting for the first time I found myself crying from its beauty. The way he uses lighting is magnificent. Words could not describe the emotions that I felt.
I was a little embarrassed but something tells me I’m not the first person to do that.

It's a moot point. This is all cultural appropriation.

Go find something else to do. All of you.

I felt the same way when my nose was inches away from various masters paintings. And yes, always Monet.

I think Bolero classified these as Bonsai Look Alike done by Bonsai Master Look Alike. Of course the rest of us think like you do @BunjeaKorea

I'm 6'4 so it's a little hard to be an Asian look alike...... though some people say if they don't look at my face I seem Korean. hahahahah

That's a Hinoki. I can't quite remember but I think it was originally a Japanese import

Always admire people that speak more than one language. You seem to do pretty good with your Korean. Neah?

Winter in Sardinia may be too warm but if you live on a mountain it could be alright.

Hahah yeah it's not too bad ...been here almost 10 years

If I were to put all on ignore that have failed to show a really good bonsai on this site, I would only have about a dozen people to converse with. If your not posting some nice trees your just using up bandwidth.....sorry, that's the way I feel.

This guy is a bonsai master.
He even has a star on the walk of fame.
