I hope this discussion will help spur others to try to develop a more dynamic style of windswept bonsai. Adding flowing type elements to the design can help to emphasize that the tree is a living force and will attempt to counteract the unrelenting wind with growth patterns that can result in fantastical structures that can be modeled with ellipses

I'll leave you with a picture of my daughter Melissa enjoying a camelia bonsai that is modeled in the windswept style. Perhaps this tree will see some improvement in the near future as a result of this discussion.



Regards.

Matt
