the beginning..aussie native literati.

Post by bodhidharma »

Here is a humble beginning for an acacia. It fitted itself into a Literati style, all i had to do was help it along. It shows the versatility of our natives. Granted, it has a long way to go and i am a bit lost as to its future at present so any advice will be good advice. Wont it be stunning in flower though. :D

Nice one Bodhi!

Looks as if that specimen doesn't object to growing beneath the horizontal, unlike a lot of Oz natives.

As to you future direction, it appears to me as if the lower trunk comes toward the viewer. What does it look like if the trunk moves away (IE: looking from the right hand side)?

Thanks for sharing!

Fly.

PS: Is this one going into the Contest?

Howdy Fly,
Yes, it actually thrives in this style. I sort of dont understand your last comment on the trunk coming towards the viewer. Do you mean ,lean it in the other direction? :?: :?

P.S. No, i do not think it will go into the comp. I cant see its completion stage in my head yet and do not know when it will come to me, as all things do :D
