This is very common in Japanese Bonzai trees. Here they also use small stones to create a landscape effect for decoration and feeling. This has been an old tradition which ofcourse came from China to Japan. Sometimes they even manupilate the stones to the desired shape.

This is fascinating. I did not know that such stones were collected or displayed as this; treasured. But I can see why.

This was a good education.

Amazing stones! I have always been fascinated by rocks/crystals/stones.

You are brave enough to paint landscapes with mountains! You do a beautiful job. It is hard to believe you are new to brush painting! I admire your work very much, Nacho. :)

Very cool! Isn't it amazing how nature creates these tiny little images of itself?
