It’s a harvest scroll, with wheat, grapes, and full moon, so I concede that, even though that’s not what the translator suggests is your criticism. However, nearly every month has a full moon, and the Ume blooms happen now, whether I like it or not. The stone to me is stark, still and silent like winter.冬の展示は薄と満月と梅花?申し訳ないが、ちょっと分かりません。
I always say...play to your strength.Sorry, it is too much.
I will stick to the basics - Tree with unseen pot.

You can critique my display in English. We are both in America, dude. I have thick skin and decent trees.

Alright, here is my EXHIBIT from the Winter Silohette Show:I just wish to express my thanks to the forum in respecting the title, even putting EXHIBIT in there. I was hoping this would be a place that the forum could come and just appreciate the trees, without all the self indulgent pro's exercising their need to point out every detail missing from an otherwise fun idea. There is enough arguing and and self aggrandizing that goes on around here that I thought a little formal display of some winter trees would be a nice thing.
Too bad...it started out good, but quickly deteriorated .....as it always does....Thanks.
