As you know my Dad isnt too well. THere is a guy who goes to visit him regularly who is a Jujitsu instructor aswell as a trained Osteopath. He fixes Dads bits and pieces whenever he needs it and just visits him to chat. He does all this without payment. Lovely guy.
So I suggested to Dad that I paint some Japanese-ish landscape for him to thank him for all he does.
and here it is done now I think. Not sure it looks all that Japanese but hopefully you get the idea. lol
We are going to get hima bonsai tree too..well see what they cost lol..maybe a grow your own one or something.

im sure he will love it pixi, great painting, a grow ya own bonsai may take a good few years to grow, depends how old the man is lol, when you think how long a tree takes, its the same only kept small. :o)

THanks girls. Might have to rethink the bonsai idea..are they expensive to buy?
4 Dec, 2011
Pixi you painting is amazing....wonderful and will make an awesome gift. Love your website too, great music and paintings. Bonsai are expensive but exquisite.

Thank you :) Hmm wonder what other kind of Japanese plant I could get that would be cheaper?

How about a nice fern, I love them. They are not particulary Japanesie but the lush green is always a good choice for a calm garden.
4 Dec, 2011
Yeah maybe..I'll have to go have a look..not sure I can afoord too much jsut now lol :)

Great picture, Pixi - I'm sure he'll love it :)
How about a little piece of Raku pottery (which he could put a plant in!)? Very Zen...

Pixi I looked online and most ferns ie. Athyrium, asplenium & dryopteris are around £6.99 each. :~)

Thanks..but I found a really nice Japanese ornamnet of a man clipping a bonsai! SO that will do nicely :)
5 Dec, 2011
Sounds perfect!
5 Dec, 2011
Yes its lovely..would have liked to be able to afford to get him a proper Bonsai..still this is nice too. :)
5 Dec, 2011
I am sure it will be so much appreciated maybe you could put a photo on so we can see it too!

That looks fantastic very atmospheric and Japanesey (that's not a word but you know what I mean lol) what a brilliant gift I am sure he will be pleased with it. Hope your dad is better soon:) x
