Absolutely lovely Bob, both the picture and the plant. Did they tell you how old this particular evergreen bonsai was? Great sketch my friend! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks Jim. While I was at the bonsai exhibition I focused on capturing as many of the plants as I could and did not stop to gather information about each display. When I do this again next year, I'll take a bit more time and learn the stories of the trees.Absolutely lovely Bob, both the picture and the plant.

Thanks Jim. I think I'm finally getting the touch on the angle, opacity, and spacing of the "sketch hatching". I notice I tend to stay on the side of "understated", but I much prefer that side anyway.Great Bob. Love the pencil work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like it Bob... the background texture and the shadows give it just a nice hint of the orient!

You are going to make me put out effort to find a bonsai collection and go look at them.
I used to live near a garden supply/nusery/fish store run by a Japanese family, 3rd or 4th generation owners/operators. They had a fairly large collection of bonsai, taught classes etc.
When ever I went there I would spend most of my time just looking. Then buy my fish supplies or what ever and leave with my head full of "If". If only I didn't already have so many other hobbies, etc etc.
They had one over 5' tall, a little redwood trained to look like one of the "giants" in the national park.
