This is a tree which I have considered an inspiration since I started bonsai. And now, a few hundred trees later, I still like the simplicity, yet mature image expressed:
if you say so . No clue. Just like the image. Would be nice to be able to create something in this style.Prunus tomentosa
Really? Hm.And i guess my best tree i got on the bench is this larch
Really? Hm.
If I'm not mistaken defra has been doing bonsai for like 2 years. Give him a break. I think he is way ahead of most people with only a couple of years into the hobby.Really? Hm.

That's the great difference: Imagination, you have to imagine art if you do art even if it is the most simple thing you can----IMAGINE. At out last club a friend of mine and myself were discussing what was the most significant thing lacking in American bonsai as practiced at the club level; we decided it was imagination, the lack of ability to see the possibilities and appreciate the simple ones.Wow. I stumbled onto this epic discourse because I just acquired a daphne, and was searching for info. After reading through from the start, I've certainly consumed my recommended daily allowance of bombast.
A friend of mine was the treasurer of the board of the Milwaukee Art Museum for many years. We were discussing what I thought to be a rather horrific example of Julian Schnabel's plate paintings, and my friend said, "My standard is, if I could do it, it's not art." This spring, my wife [a trained painter] and I were at the National Gallery, and saw three of Rothko's monochromes. I reminded her of my friend's standard, and said, "I could do that". Her response..."Yeah, but you didn't, did you?"
