Another Robert Steven bonsai masterpiece. He doesn’t say what kind of tree it is but it looks a lot like a Pemphis.
This morning I set out to post two new critiques by Robert Steven, but was foiled by a computer glitch (hopefully temporary).* Meanwhile, I discovered a new photo (above) that Robert just put up on his facebook feed.
Because Robert only put up one new photo, I’m posting some photos (below) from an older Bark post (February 2011) that features a small sampling of Robert Steven’s great bonsai and some strange text from a day when I must have been reading poetry and imagining I could write. Enjoy the trees, and even if you already seen them, I think they’re worth a second look.
* I expect to have the glitch fixed soon and the new critiques up any day now.
Movement and stillness. Robert Steven’s skill, energy and enthusiasm have done much to move the art of bonsai forward (even though there’s nowhere to go).
A little taste
These three photos (one above, two below) are from a facebook album that presents some samples of Robert Steven’s bonsai.
A simple tree with its gnarled time-twisted trunk, leans into the darkness.
Sentient trees in a ancient forest, a floating world.
