To better understand it and to defend the very reasons one loves bonsai? Another question would be, why do those who do not create art in quality bonsai attack it so much? Given the choice of the two, I'd much rather defend it than attack it.
I have never claimed to be anything else than a beginner, a fact I mentioned a few times once again in this very article. The real question is why do the supposedly more experienced defend the mediocrity?

I think Vance Wood just posted here not long ago, Jim Stone posted above, and Walter has often been involved in these art discussions.

Of course and there also is a correlation, the talking leads to learning and the learning to creating. Or the talking can be detrimental to striving for perfection and that is what this thread is about.

Could you point out where I defined bonsai art?
The small jibs will not change the basic truths Ron, thanks,
