We are all entitled to opinions.
In many...Walter,<br />We are all entitled to opinions. <br />In many instances, the so-called "natural" style of bonsai fails as so much of it lacks the application of difficult to master techniques. Who is to say highly stylized bonsai by the "old school" -- and I am part of the old school as are you -- is lacking? <br />We are talking about images in the eye of the beholder. There is no time limitation on the endurance of beauty because beautiful bonsai transcend time, and many traditionally styled trees remain unforgettable. <br />Bonsai will ALWAYS be a commingling of the traditional and the contemporary. Regardless of what opinions individuals may have, there is no substitution for true mastery of technique. The attention to detail is was separates a masterpiece from a collected specimen placed into a pot and trimmed. Each individual needs to personally assess if indeed what they have is truly a bonsai.<br /><br />Michael Persiano<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00550462061475486182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4731675766765556007.post-48191451654850628672016-09-01T10:58:17.633-07:002016-09-01T10:58:17.633-07:00As a brazilian i would say it is very difficult to...As a brazilian i would say it is very difficult to make bonsai at our country. We don´t have mountains, we don´t have indigenous conifers (apart a few species unsuitable for bonsai), and every stick in the nursery is overevaluated as a world class bonsai. <br /><br />But we have an untold advantage, our climate! We can grow our indigenous species fast and furiously, but nobody here give a shit, because everybody appears to be making the japanese way, with japanese species. Knowing that i decided to work with broadleaves, no conifers, and mainly indigenous species. I am far from being a great name here, but let´s see what i can accomplish in the next years, with my species and with my technique - and for that i am very greatful of you WP for opening my eyes and giving me inspiration!Arzivenkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07882952806778919181noreply@blogger.com
