My second entry into the Exotika contest, like I mentioned in My first entry, there is bound to be artworks more realistic than this but I hope all viewers will be won over by the creativity.

I am surprised I didn't do anything like this a long time ago because I really love bonsai trees and the trees here are stunted and growing on nothing more than solid rock. It was trees like this that inspired the very first bonsai trees in China ( not Japan, it was introduced to Japan later where it came even more popular ). The trees here are all based on real trees which are all of Asian origin ( to fit the theme ) and are some of the most classic and common types of bonsai grown today. The top tree is a Japanese black pine, The red tree is a Japanese maple, The middle tree is a Trident maple, the bottom-left tree is a Chinese juniper and the flowering tree is an Azalea.

Well, it was a long comment but thanks for taking the time to read. Hope You like it.

I :+fav:ed this for the following reason: (1) I like the idea. I'm interested in Bonsai (though mine died from lack of love) and Asia (my university study focus) and I think the concept of putting them all together like this is excellent. (2) I really like the colors. (3) I really like the detail (I'm not interested in realism) (4) I like the way the trees and rocks are arranged. Nice lines and curves. Rather like Bonsai ;)
Thanks for posting this! 8-)

Lol, I actually have killed some of mine from too much love...the poor souls were overwatered, or left in the greenhouse for too long. But its trial and error. I hardly ever have one die on me now.

Realism is actually one of my goals, this was the best of my ability at the time. Though I admit I'm not really interested in Photo-realism...Just heaps of detail.

I saw plenty of detail in this piece, part of why I liked it was because the leaves/flowers/needles and texture of the rock and bark are so detailed. and I really like the colors :XD:

by the way, I just noticed your signature question :laughing: why indeed
