I hate being negative, but I think walnut is a species of tree that will not make convincing bonsai. Some people like water-chestnut for bonsai (which has even bigger foliage), but I have never seen one I like.

Will mentioned honey locust and mountain ash. I think these two have possibilities, but alas, I think any walnut is best kept in the ground for making nuts.

Sorry to be negative, but maybe it will save you some frustration.
