AusBonsai

This will be a place where i would like to Introduce, promote and show italian artists and their bonsai. Hope you all enjoy, to kick it off here is a very beautiful and unusual Elm Campastre. The artist is Stefano Frisoni...

Thanks Antonio,
I love it, it is has a fascinating trunk or trunks with heaps of charachter.

Your proposal to showcase some of the Italian artists and trees is a great idea and I look foreward to future installments.

Hi Anttal63 , mate very nice tree , Bonsai . Mate its open to all to join the forum maybe you could have a word in the ear to join us . I'd like to see some more of our Northern hemisphere artists designs and methods . Its a bugger trolling through the net . Thanks for posting .

Again something beautiful and unusual, Scotts Pine by Stefano Frisoni...

Nice tree's mate!

Hey Antonio,

Great idea & great trees... looking forward to tomorrows installment. The Italians have taken bonsai & really made it their own

Hi all,

I think it is great to have bonsai images from other regions posted here and agree that we should encourage bonsai people from other regions to join Ausbonsai but the internet bonsai club already attracts these people anyway so why don't we just link to the great images on that site?

BTW I didn't know of the work by Stefano Frisoni so thanks for posting these fine pictures Antonio.

Cheers

Brad75.

Again Stefano Frisoni... Taxus Baccata

Ulmus Procera, Stefano Frisoni ...

A beautiful Elm but it was collected and designed by Colin Lewis who than sold it to Stefano. I have been using this as inspiration for many years. it has not changed much from the original design.

Yes Bodhi, credit to Colin for starting its very bright future! however the tree is now Italian property and in a higher state of refinment thanks to the new custodian and artist.

I love the taxus baccata, yews are a species we do not often see in Australia but I would love to get my hands on one.

OK peoples last one for this artist. This is a cypress sempervirens:

Ok back to buissness, this next artist is Zino Rongo. These guys all have a few things in common one of which is age. The age group is relatively younger by my standards 30 to 60. This group are serious movers and groovers of bonsai. They are daring,progressive and very committed !!! They are a significant part in the New Order in world Bonsai IMO! Extremely talented and inspiring mentors. So no further ado enter Zino Rongo. Zino collects alot of his material himself.

Ciao Antonio
Questo albero e` magnifico!!
Grazie tanto, Dario.
