Minimalism
As simple as possible
The Literati
This style of bonsai gets its name from a group of Chinese philosophers who believed in simplicity.
Since I have a million feet of artistic wire, my main focus this week was trying to incorporate some of that wire into the design. I wanted this bonsai to look like a Jack Pine. Thankfully, not all bonsai are deciduous!!
I'm looking for a comfortable height to make these. I also went back to styling the base of the truck in a similar way as the first bonsai. I think it looks much better.
