My First Demo on Pines - Noelanders

For the first time I worked on pines for demo. Great experience, great time, great even with great people....

Demo-1



Quite challenging...





My asistent, Ofer from Israel..the first time on pines as well...



To be honest, I was not very satisfied with the first result...



Demo -2



A difficult material...





Better...?



Who was this big guy ?



...Ryan and Suthin....



Great experience..indeed...

Here some of my images. It was great to have had you here, Robert.

Thanks for posting Robert,
Even though this was your first time with Pines they both have your signature style
Looks like it was a great show.
Cheers Graham

Thanks Walter.
It was really a great pleasure to meet you all there.

Thanks Graham. I was not satisfied with the first one...

As someone who loves to teach, I appreciate your experience. What I've learned is that it makes you a better student. Keep up the good work, by sharing your skill and something of yourself.

very very nice indeed...thanks for sharing...when i saw the picture of the second pine, i thought to myself "oh man, this tree is made for Mr Steven"...sure enough, you brought your own personal style and technique and deffinately did not dissapoint...great job.

A great experience indeed. Everyone learn something everyday...

...and Thanks Mike !
I asked for deciduous material which I expect I could talk about deciduous bonsai in Europe. However, I am glad they gave me something new which I could still express myself...

Hi Robert.

The second tree looks great! No Penjing in Europe? hehehe.

Thanks Jun...

good job, robert.

best wishes, sam

Great work. I have a weird question. What kind of pot was It in? I have never seen a mass produced container that looks like that. It almost looks like metal.

Thanks Sam.

Hi Jkd, it was a plastic pot...

Wonderful work. I particularly liked the second tree.

I'd be happy to send you my mailing address by PM, if you need somewhere to hide it.

It's refreshing (and inspiring) to see a "name" step out of their comfort zone in such a highly scrutinized forum. The talent is obvious, but the spirit of adventure is what really sets your work apart.

Thanks Cockroach and rps...

Hi Robert Steven

I was nice to meet you at "Noelanders", and to see how you worked on the pines......

How is your 1000 bonsaitrees in Jakarta doing? are they still under 2 m. water?
I hope you will not loose everthing.

Kind regards Yvonne

Thanks Yvonne,

It was a great pleasure to meet you as well.
The water is still above 1 meter but is getting down, very likely I can secure most of them specifically the good ones which I put them on pedestal, but can be quite lots of materials will dye..or hopefully not...
I cross my fingers...

I will cross my fingers too....the photos are scary.....are they taken after the water sank 1m. again, or before?

Kind regards yvonne

This was 2 days ago. Before, all the bonsai were under the water; but now most of them are above the water except those planted on ground.

I didn't know your area was affected by the flood...I feel sorry for the trees in your garden, I hope most will make it.
