Zen pine. In some types of art (calligraphy comes to mind) shapes are often suggested rather than completed. The mind of the viewer does the rest. In the case of this pine, it's a circle (the way the raw power of the deadwood demands your attention cinches it). The tree and the photo belong to Mauro Stemberger. You can see more of Mauro's bonsai here, here and here.
Circles, semi circles and curves are today’s theme.
Bonsai with long slow curves like this one tend to be out of favor, at least with some people, who might refer to this type curve to as a pigeon breast. In the case of this pine I think the deadwood that mirrors the curve creates interest and perhaps even make the pigeon breast more acceptable. The artist is Wlodzimierz Pietraszko. I believe we've featured this tree before but a quick Bark search comes up zero.
Full circle. I don't know what kind of tree this is, but I'll bet you'll remember it if you ever see it again. I found it here.
A snake about to strike. I'm not so sure this one fits our unusual curves theme, but if you follow the line from the base of the trunk to the tip of the deadwood, it's close enough. Once again (like the pine above), the artist is Wlodzimierz Pietraszko and this is at least the second time we've shown this tree.
