This great photo is from David Benavente’s facebook photos.
There’s a lot going on here so we’re going to lean on our archives once again. This one originally appeared in April 2013 (lightly edited).
I think David Benavente is one of our most accomplished bonsai artists. You can check out David’s bonsai on facebook and on his website. His Before and After (Antes y Despues) series is particularly good (and instructive), but really, I’d recommend spending time and exploring all of his photos. Many tell stories, some with a little humor thrown in.
Here’s one of David’s ‘Before and After’ series.
Here’s another from ‘Before and After.’ I cropped out the ‘before’ to get a closer view of the ‘after.’ You can see them together here.
Fall color. I’m always impressd with how well organized and neat David’s nursery looks (at least in the photos he shows us, though I suspect he’s not hiding anything).
Here’s another close-up of an ‘after.’ The original photo is below.
The photos shown here are just a small sampling of David Benavente’s bonsai. For more, visit him on facebook or his website.
