Pinus mugo 2004

pine queen wrote:For a slant styled tree to be well balanced, there must be a bracing root that stabilizes the lean of the tree (opposite the lean). We have that. The first branch on the left, 'Sashieda' is the branch that defines the movement of the tree. Root and branch that will balance movement are always in opposite directions. The next branch up to the right is called Uke-eda or the counterweight branch. This is also a very important branch. Sashieda brings to the viewer the movement of the trunk while the Uke-eda helps balance the tree.

Q

Actually a well balanced tree is one that does not make you wonder why the tree isn't balanced. I know the rules are there for a reason but I hate rules for the rules sake. I really like where this tree has gone and is going, it reminds me of a couple of close friends.

Great tree and great inspiration.

When can we expect to see some more of this brilliant caliber of work from you? It seems like you have fallen off the edge of the world.

Pine for EBA congres in Wroclav 2014

Getting better and better. Real champion. Thanks for update.

What can I say about this tree and your work that has not been said?  The tree is a masterpiece and demonstrated all of the traits than turned me onto the Mugo Pine in the first place.  Masterpieces can only be creaeted by master artists, I particularly enjoy and love your artistic eye and technical ability to turn one into the other.  

I have been told by people many times before, when under scrutiny because of my penchant to choose nursery trees, why don't I buy pre-bonsai trees that are partially done?  My answer is:  My love of bonsai is not in owning someone else's masterpiece it is in creating masterpieces of my own.  You have reinforced that concept in my mind.  Of course my nursery junk cannot compare to the wonderful yamadori you guys have access to in Europe, but you do what you can do with what you have before you.  That is not to say your success is in your material, please don't think I am saying that.  Your success is in your abilities; technical and artistic abilities few of us have.  There are people that could take the wonderful Yamadori you have worked on and turn them into compost and fire wood.  

Sad to say I have seen it happen, I call it reverse styling.  The process of taking a really nice piece of material that with a little artistic tweak hear and there can be made into a really fine bonsai and---- in the course of a few hours, turn it into a featureless, meaningless, worthless piece of garbage that in the life time of one of my Grandchildren might be made into a bonsai.

All I can say is WOW. I really enjoyed viewing this tree's journey. Thanks for posting.

Hi Pavel,

It is really a very nice work. Congratulations.

Budi

Thank you very much all, for yours very nice coments and compliments. I appreciate it.

Best regards Pavel

Hope you don't mind Pavel. I flipped from first to last.. Hard to believe that these are the same plants, just separated by a mere 10 years, and many drops of Pavels'sweat

I saw this tree in Wroclaw exhibition, and it was my favorite on whole show
No wires marks on branches and trunk, not to many lines- looks beautiful and natural.

Any update on this pine Mr. Pavel? this is an inspiring progression.

Hi all friends

Thank you Mr. Pavel for this wonderful thread.

I love the way you have opened up the design and exposed more of the trunk and branching.  Makes the tree look older to me.
