[IBC] BTO article on mixed media bonsai

I don't think you have to be a subscriber to see it. This is
another of those wonderful European displays of bonsai and
painting. It is -- to my mind -- the absolute most successful
yet.

The trees -- great -- and the paintings -- mostly excellent mesh
seamlessly.

Fantastic show, i notice they have selected mainly coniferous trees compared
to deciduous, i think there were onnly 3 deciduous trees in that article, do
the germans mainly work with coniferous species?

Thanks for posting this, Jim, I would have hated to miss it!
It has been interesting ever since Walter Pall and Udo combined their
talents some time ago to see some gradual acceptance, BUT this is a real
"world recognizable" display. I admire Udo's facility in producing so
many different atmospheres with his color and brush strokes.

They sure inspired me to give it a fling, but the size of his canvases are
very large, hard to handle in a home display. So - I did a screen, double
fold with three adjoined sections of a painting. That lets one put it up in
a corner instead of undoing a room to find a large space, and is easy to
make it a temporary display. Of course that led to costly framing, even if
less canvas expense. Typical result of being frugal!

At hour home, we have high (22 foot) ceilings and two opposing
walls with no windows. On one we have an 8 foot by 7 foot
painting and the other has a 6x7 foot painting, both done by a
dear and very close friend of ours. Both have brilliant colors.
If I had bigger trees, I've often thought these would be
wonderful partners with bonsai.

Because I thought Walter and Udo's first try used the "art" as
backdrops for the trees (or occasionally the other way around).
In this one, there was much more effort spent to match tree and
painting in terms of color, design and mood.

people have learned to appreciate and cherish the landscape and
its living cover will they treat it with the care and respect it
should have - Paul Bigelow Sears.
