Dan from the Enfield Bonsai Group kindly sent me some photos showing the trees exhibited at Capel Manor this weekend past. I had previously blogged the poster here to help get the word out. Happy to do this for any club event pretty much anywhere in the world as I seem to have viewers from everywhere! All photos also gratefully received.

A truly magnificent display of trees. Now I’ve got to go out and look at my own miserable display. Ah well!

The following picture confuses me:

Is the black area colored or is it a real hollow shade?

Sorry for the delay in getting back!
The inside of the hollow has been darked using something like Charcoal or burn’t Umber paint to give it this look. It’s personal taste as to just how dark you make it, or even to do it at all. It adds depth to the hollow area. I quite like this one 🙂

Some very fine trees! I especially like the character of the upright yew, and of the pine by the non-plussed owl.
