With eyes focused on the structure of a particularly quaint bottle tree but minds meandering across a wide range of topics, my friend Jo and I spent the morning sketching a bottle tree growing beside the road in Mitchell. Although we both drew the same bulbous tree, each of us a created different interpretation. But that's what art is all about, isn't it; that and conversation.
My two bonsai bottle trees are growing well and seem to like their position on a sunny windowsill in our kitchen. I'll take them back to Phillip Island for the summer months and hope it won't be too cold for them. It will be interesting to see how they grow, and whether or not they develop bulbous trunks as miniatures.
