This is what happens when you have a bonsai artist who also happens to be a master woodworker, sculptor and highly skilled Japanese garden designer and builder. His name is Pierre Leloup, and once again we are honored to feature one of his masterpieces here on Bonsai Bark (a photo of Pierre's now famous 2012 planting is below).
I have long been a fan of Pierre Leloup’s masterful bonsai landscapes. And for good reason; there are simply no others quite like them anywhere.

Here's a close up of the center section of Pierre's planting.
I first met Pierre Leloup at the 2012 3rd U.S. National Bonsai Exhibition. He and his friend Sangi were my next door (back door) neighbors in the vendor section. I mention this because I want to remind our readers (that’s you) about the upcoming 5th U.S. National Bonsai Exhibition and to encourage you to adjust your calendar and figure out how to be there (Rochester NY, September 10-11). It promises to be spectacular, perhaps even the greatest show on earth (only a slight exaggeration).
If you’d like to see more of what Pierre Leloup has been up to, here’s a link to his website and here’s one to Bonsai Bois Franc (a Sherbrooke Quebec bonsai club that Pierre belongs to).
