A wise sculptor was once asked how in the world can he carve an elephant out of that big block of stone. The sculptor just looked at the person and said, "It's the easiest thing in the world, my friend. You just take away everything that doesn't look like a elephant."

Matt,
I think we need a special archive here for quotes such as Al's...

"Bonsai will never be thought of anything bigger than a novelty. Gardening at best. Something for the whole family to do in the privacy of their backyard. That is what we are saddled with. Seeking more is lunacy. "

It should be worth a few chuckles either way in the future.

I have seen bonsai so beautiful and so moving that one would forget that they are actually a growing thing. ART? Absolutely by any definition of the word. Look it up. Are all bonsai art? No more than all paintings are art.

This subject has been debated thoughout history on one subject or another, greater minds than us have already hashed this question to death. (See my signature)

Sometimes you just have to admit that water is wet, the earth revolves around the sun, and death comes to all living things...face it move on, accept the truth.
