Past Meeting
Sunday, February 22nd
Room 101, Casa del Prado, Balboa Park Program: Mrs. Sharadha Gupta was a surprise speaker for this month. Mrs. Gupta is currently visiting from India where she is the author of two bonsai/gardening books, has won numerous gardening awards, and has been featured in regional and national magazines and television. She demonstrated the assembly of a diorama designed to hang on a wall. She painted the back of the diorama frame to simulate the sky. Various small bonsai and mosses were then wired into the frame creating a pleasant country scene. This technique can be scaled up in size as shown in Mrs. Gupta’s backyard where a ten foot long diorama graces a garden wall. Bonsai Help: Bring in any trees you have concerns about as we have knowledgeable members available in the Bonsai Help area to the right of the stage in room 101. Meeting Display: If you would like to display part of your bonsai collection during our meetings in room 101, including those who want their bonsai to be critiqued by our in-house experts before being displayed at our spring or fall show, please see Dan Sola or Abe Far. Reminder: Bring items for the benefit drawing and food to share with the other members. |
