I seem to have some form of ADHD according to others, & my attention hasn't suffered in the slightest when reading your work.<br /><br />If you ever get a few minutes spare, which I can guess is probably a bad joke, then please come back & revisit our (recently improved) forum - since your kind interview, we've attracted a good deal more members, have moved to a much improved host, & have even changed url!<br /><br />(European Bonsai Forum).<br />tofu_junkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13050888557596601088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947832988749594918.post-21188414544911382522013-03-13T20:56:15.641+00:002013-03-13T20:56:15.641+00:00Peter, My Tuppence worth. Re long posts. I remembe...Peter, My Tuppence worth. Re long posts. I remember learning that Information is the sort of thing that men HIDE in books. In your case Long Posts. The problem is not yours but ours, who with the attention span of a goldfish, just can't read anything longer than a short Tabloid Newspaper article. This is particularly the case when there is so flesh pictured with it. The art of reading is not as common as it was once. Tabloid newspapers, TV and mindless computer games have made sure of that. Just keep up the good work.<br />Re the material you work on and that you feature in your posts. I like the mix. Some of us will never own specimen trees but what you do is a continual source of encouragement to us to make the most out of whats available to us. You featured a Peter Snart Potentilla some months back and I liked it so much that I went out searching for some inexpensive potentilla to work on and no doubt this spruce will inspire others to look for better material. Is that not worthwhile. Remember when faced with ridicule that "The laughter of fools is like the crackling of burning thorns under a pot" Empty, hollow and shallow.<br />Re the opera. I preferred Jethro Tull.

Im not sure of the political point I was making other than trying to allow the trees do the talking, as i tend to deliberately not show off work on significant material as I think it is one of my jobs to try and show a different side to bonsai, one which isn't about braggadocio, or material that is only relevant to a select few.

Cleary there is an observation which Peter and others including his peers and master have made reference the type of trees he styles and likes. <br /><br />If you were to compare his work and published articles to those of his peers including Ryan Neil and others it is evident the level of trees worked upon is significantly different.<br /><br />Though Peter clearly has talent including display / pots etc to develop his and compete among his peers he would need to style that level of material in order to get the recognition deserved. Reference politics it is clearly rife may be driven by recession and as people like to talk Bonsai when styling and attaining workshops then doing other people down to gain credit is rife. I have heard it from a number of fronts individuals and profesionalalso by publishing it you are entering into that arena by default. At the end of the day i would like to see Peter Succeed as per any other artist with talent. There is clearly no place for this kind of behaviour within bonsai as it is runining Bonsai within UK and Europe. At the end of the day Talent and the best artist working on the best material will always come to the front!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947832988749594918.post-54900303857178974252013-03-13T13:28:17.161+00:002013-03-13T13:28:17.161+00:00:-( Don't even think about dumbing down your ...:-( Don't even think about dumbing down your posts... rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10308533608240139698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947832988749594918.post-55768549073147543262013-03-13T10:33:27.207+00:002013-03-13T10:33:27.207+00:00Good to see some work being completed on worth whi...Good to see some work being completed on worth while material.<br />Clearly you have mentioned it several times when working on and justifying budget / low cost trees. Styling of specimen trees is what will really make your reputation within Europe.<br /><br />By Publishing and communicating about Politics you are playing in that arena, i hear it from a number of artists that i talk to reference this persons done that or the other. Word of advice let your trees and work do the talking.
