larix decidua

last year I started on this larix decidua. I finshed it yesterday.

Excellent work Milan! I love what you did with the material, which was not very exciting to begin with.

Nice transformation, Milan. I would never know what to do with such a material.

Great Job.

Regards

Great work Milan. Not the easiest of material but good solution.

thanx all

Mila,
Fantastic result from what seems ordinary material. I wish I had your sort of "vision" when it comes to seeing the tree in the wood,

Okk,Okk,

I have mixed feelings.............the top of this tree imho doesnt know where is going ? ..right or left ?

hi all, larch after one year development. I made some small change









greetings Milan

hi, nice work from what you started with............but i think it is very wrong for you to think you finished it yesterday !

it had an initial styling and first refining which has given a really nice image but there is years of work ahead still, especially for the tree to look ok in a winter image - building taper into the top third of the trunk and the essential forming of tight ramification to make the branches look mature will set the tree on its way to 'finished' but to be honest i think it is wrong to ever think we have finished our trees. once you think that the danger is that the individual tree gets less attention as the artist moves on to new projects.

the final thing a larch needs is the all important aged bark texture so dont be in a rush to think the tree is finished - it is only just started - but started very nicely though.

...much progress Milan, all the best.

Erik thank you!

Marcus: Thanx, I know, this larch isn´t finished. I think bonsai never finished, in my opinion, bonsai way and Development is more important. At least for me.
