Ordinary Bonsai for Ordinary People 12/10/16

Here's a powerful yet graceful little Japanese white pine (Pinus parviflora). No artist is listed, nor is the name of the little companion.

All the photos in this post were taken by Mark Cooper at the 2012 Noelanders Trophy. I found them in two places (here and here) on Morten Albek’s excellent Shohin Bonsai Europe blog. Unfortunately, the artists are not listed with most of the photos.
