Description
I cultivate bonsai for pleasure. This tree is one that I started from a cutting years ago and is now firmly rooted in a stoneware pot. Over the course of many years, I have patiently trained the tree to grow in a traditional bonsai style. This tree has a well defined root system.
Sometimes an image looks very intriguing as a black and white pencil rendering. A simple understatement sometimes has more impact than a full color image. This image has been digitally rendered as fine detailed pencil drawings. They remind me of the delicate "silver point" drawings that I created on gessoed paper using a piece of sterling silver wire while a student at the Art Institute Of Boston. The silver would darken as it oxidized creating a very subtle and soft look. These images look stunning in the larger sizes, matted and framed.
