Damn, Walter we posted at the same time. You hit upon something that has rung my bell. It was easy but I had not thought to rationalize it so easy.

OK, so since you brought it up, and you are the resident posting Bonsai professional here, How do you recognize between the two? What seperates bonsai from art and craft? How can the craftsman seperate the two, since the artist should have the upper hand, it would be up to the craftsman to move to the higher level. How does the craftsman know he has moved into the realm of an artist, and who decides?
