Daryl Cogavin has for a while been producing quality bonsai scrolls with her own artistic style…….. much better than me with my chubby sticks. Her web site is https://darylsdrawings.weebly.com/bonsai-scroll-paintings.html

Click the images to inlarge………….. She has now decided to put extend her range of goods and branch out [see what I did there!!! Have you twigged yet] and reproduce owners trees into an Ink Drawing. You will see at the top, a comparison and a very good image.

This was done from a photograph of the tree, so you don’t even need to drive around the UK with the tree, so that she can reproduce it. Anyone wishing to have a tree drawing can contact her via her web site

https://darylsdrawings.weebly.com/contact-me.html to discuss tree/size of picture/prices……………….. don’t forget it will be Christmas soon and our other halfs never know what to get us??????

When finished they can be posted to you with a backing board, ready for you to get framed if you wish.

Tonight was another excellent lively discuss filled club night with lots of new members and new trees to talk about. Everyone was working on or discussing their bonsai trees and a lot of shared knowledge and information was being passed on.

Tonight the session was focused on discussing those trees that club members have no idea how to style or were in need of advice on, as everyone has had one of those bonsai trees at some stage in their bonsai hobby. It was a good evening with lots of discussion on a wide variety of species with ideas coming from many club members. The evening started off with a chat from our Chairman Paul who then introduced the topic and the discussion commenced.

What a fantastic bonsai show, bringing together so many amazing people in one location to talk about bonsai, display their own bonsai trees and have the opportunity to buy bonsai supplies. With everything available from the bonsai traders from bonsai trees to tools, soils, fertilisers and so much more. It is such a friendly atmosphere with everyone catching up, and discussing their bonsai trees and techniques as well as their successes and problems following this summer’s extreme temperatures.

A huge thank you goes out to Mark and MingChen Moreland who provide their unwavering support, dedication and enthusiasm for the hobby of bonsai and are instrumental in not only starting the Heathrow Bonsai Show all those years ago but also the UKBA more recently in 2018. Thanks also to all those who made today’s show possible with their time, effort and organisation prior to the show and making sure everything was set up yesterday in anticipation of today as well as helping at the end of the show. A final thank you to all those exhibiting and trading at the show as well as the visitors who came to see what the hobby of bonsai is all about. Follow-up posts for our own Club display plus the other club displays and traders will follow shortly.
