Ponderosa pine. today's project
This ponderosa has been in my collection since 1987. It started out as a dual demonstration by Dan Robinson and myself at the Bonsai Society of San Francisco annual exhibit.
Dan worked on the pine (that he collected several years before) while I put the rocks together with fast set construction grade epoxy.
Today I removed old wire, cut off some needles and lime-sulfered the jin.
Height from table is about 27 inches.

Learning the mechanics of bonsai is a matter of rote. Over and over again the processes are practiced until the hands and eyes know the moves.
Learning the art of bonsai may be more like water wearing away a stone, or climbing a mountain where the peak is always shrouded in fog and just out of reach.
Persist, and someday you may see the peak in sunshine. You may pick up the stone and it's a thing of beauty.
