Summer Poem for Bonsai in Stage 2a

 

This kakejiku genesis was from a class done at a bonsai convention....I think almost 10 years ago. They were never able to complete the wallscroll, so he sent it to me to finish it. It is a poem (and I believe it is for summer season) which I will find in my Zengo Kichigo Dictionary. I think these cloths are beautiful.

Alternate Scroll for Bonsai Artist

This is a different display using a similar painting of Canyon deChelley. The customer chose these cloths based upon a previous scroll done for a bonsai artist. The bonsai are entirely different from the display at USNBE.

Bonsai Scroll Painting

This scroll was made for a bonsai artist in Sonoma County area....The original painting was done by Suzanne Barrymore, who can also mount the paintings (So I do not know why she did not do this one) If you want to contact Suzanne Barrymore I could find her number for you.

Anyways, it is an alpine lake scene, so I suggested this light green for summer, and it can reinforce a breeze or rippling water, with the light tan on the Ten/Chi to be conservative. My only concern for this scroll is that it would not be long enough for the tree it was displayed with, so it was made in the Sandan Hyougu style to stretch it further.... It is completed with Shitan (Rosewood) jikusaki and the kinka (Hanging String)
